The difference between government getting to choose whatever they want to be secretive and an individual getting to do so online is that government controls others whereas an individual does not.
Being able to keep it a secret that innocent people were killed because of a poor war campaign is reason enough to not trust the government ALL of the time. Are there secrets that are important? Yes. But nowadays, EVERYTHING is confidential and the only information we get is the stuff that's too big for them to hide (or they want us to see).

- invisible 16y agoIt was a secret because if anyone asked for proof previous to Wikileaks releasing pertinent information (in regard to Iraq), the answer was "No, I don't have anything to prove it..." Speculation doesn't make something any less secret and is often inaccurate.
