It doesn't really matter, most of these issues come to light by leaked information by those we do elect to shed light on secrets that we don't believe in.  |
Those who leak secrets they agreed to keep make it so that the next group wont even get told. The habit of leaking increases questionable security choices not decreases it.
You are running really close to the edge of politics Lurker. Talking about hypotheticals or history is fine. Talking about the current situation is not.
