> States have a reasonable need to keep things secret, even against the immediate best interest of the citizens (but not long term, clearly). I don't disagree, but that this has never been considered to bind those who are not citizens or residents of those states. Is there a state in existence today that does not maintain what intelligence apparatus it can afford, in order to learn the secrets of other states?
