However there is tons and tons of sensitive information that may or may not be in the publics or the countries interests to release. How do you determine that? Who determines what should be released? Reporters? Editors? Every issue can not be decided by public opinion. Those who are elected are sent to Washington to govern. If you feel they are doing a bad job then vote for someone else when they come up for re-election. But these demands to 'know' everything in the name of freedom and pariotism is misguided. One of our countrys problems is that many public officials consult public opinion polls before they choose sides on an issue. Being that the majority of people in this country are more informed about Paris Hilton and pop culture then current or world affairs, it is a truly scary thing.
