Heard a talking head report by one of the members of the Commision on Protecting * Reducing Government Secrecy...and it was very intresting. According to their findings, brought to Congress in 1997, there is a vast mass of material that is classified with out valid reason, and keeps the american people in teh dark about intelligence failures, prevents accountability, fuels paranoia and distrust, and generally harms our intrests as a free nation. I'm inclined to agree. The more that can be released, the more trust can reasonably be placed in the institutions that are sworn to protect us. Faith should never be blind....especially in governments.
