[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM1Mzc0MzM1XzNFQTc3NzE3] Interesting take on it. I tend to agree.. The nuclear power industry information should be available to the public, if it doesn't affect national security. Too many government secrets http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/too-many-government-documents-are-kept-secret/2012/12/25/ee9a922c-449e-11e2-8e70-e1993528222d_story.html [snip] THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT keeps petabytes (that’s a million gigabytes each) of information secret every year — some of it highly sensitive, some of it hardly. [b]A 1972 diplomatic telegram that discusses the exchange of gifts between the United States and China — musk oxen from the Nixon administration in return for two Chinese pandas — was labeled confidential, and it wasn’t declassified until 1997.[/b] Americans have a right to know what the government is doing on their behalf or in their name, except in exceptional circumstances. A functioning democracy requires the people to hold their government to account. Accountability, in turn, requires knowledge about government activities. It also requires access to information about what the government has done in the past, and how that worked or didn’t. A complex and cautious system can even harm national security, keeping information from people within and outside government who could help make sense of it. Since the executive branch has control over most of the procedure, the White House should take the problem of over-classification seriously and convene a steering committee immediately to implement some of the board’s sensible suggestions.[b][color=red] Even if that means some of America’s critical musk-oxen secrets slip out a little earlier.[/color][/b] [/quote]
