When citizens have transparent access to what their government is really up to, those inside the government may be held accountable, which is not something they will take kindly to. I agree with this and want to expand on it a little. This is the way power works. If having a government, having a state, is to work at all, then those with power must be saddled with accountability. However, the track record seems to say that in the vast majority of cases, those who have power, immediately act to murder any ability to hold them accountable. Which is exactly why accountability must be enforced, as harshly as possible. When normal humans are granted power without accountability, evil results. Insist on accountability.
