Re: over-classification - my biggest concern is that using the "national security secret" gambit can be a coverup for criminal wrongdoing. We've seen it over and over and over throughout history. And now that the national security state is involved in more activities than ever before, it's almost guaranteed that some of those activities, or the motivations behind them, are criminal. Conversely, we've heard, many times, things like "disclosure will cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States..." and seen that NOT to be the case. The NSA and related parties are starting to look like the boy who cried wolf. A boy with perhaps more power than any government entity in US history.
