I couldn't agree more, like a certain CIA agent's identity. When decisions are made in the interest of the OVP instead of the interest of the nation, it sacrifices patriotism for tyranny.

Quite often, I find that what is kept secret from the general public is ridiculous, and is way out of line with what should be brought forward. I am even willing to go so far as to say that the entire government, in regards to new laws governing "security" of the general populace of the US, require the entire population of the US to give up those securities. The entire idea is retarded in my own opinion. However, there is something to be said, even if minimal, that it may or may not be, in keeping vital security secrets secret. I feel that we often times attack the very secrecy of our nation in a way that is not constructive. What should be made open should be made open. What should be secret, in the effort to protect ourselves, should be kept secret. The line is drawn when it's something incredibly retarded, as it often times is. There's something to be said about secrets, just weak. I am a huge fan of freedom of information.
