What is missing from this article and the debate: some transparency can be a strategy to avoid broader leaking that would result when the public starts to converge on the idea that current levels of secrecy are harmful. this is something that future administrations are going to wind up giving more importance to because this type of convergence is set to increase in the US as americans become increasingly exposed to the global community and take on the impression that civil liberties are universal and not just an american thing. the broadening of communal identity brought the arab spring in Egypt but for the US it is coming in the form of this transparency struggle. everyone is astonished that the current administration has brought more whistle blowers to prosecution that any administration in history, combined. few are examining why there "ARE" more whistle blowers than ever before.
