Sure, let's start there. And then how exactly do we get to the current debate, which is more "Secrets for me, but not for thee"?

- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoThere's the rub. "Secrets for thee" would mean giving secrets to the whole world- enemies and all. They do eventually become declassified which seems like a good compromise. Transparency without giving a freebie to the enemy.
- abeyer 3y agoThat's not the rub at all. No one is "giving secrets" to anyone. The debate is whether to further allow and expand the power of the government to prevent anyone else from keeping secrets of their own. We started from the premise that secrets are necessary sometimes, right? I fail to see the connection.
