my point is that it works both ways
if the government has nothing to hide, they shouldnt worry about it, we are just trying to catch criminals in the government
not so cut and dry obviously but it rings true
Oh I think our Government believes it has a ton to hide. I think if Americans were as aware of the methods of prosecuting this so-called "war on terror" as say people were during the Vietnam War, I'm guessing there'd be a helluva lot less enthusiasm (or disinterested assent) than we see now.
In any case, I'm not really advocating a total reversal of our government's foreign and domestic policies (I was all on board for invading Afghanistan) I just like to make informed decisions about what I support or oppose and while Manning maybe went about it the wrong way, I think some of the information he leaked is valuable and probably should be seen by Americans if they are going to be real citizens and not bags of meat for stuffing Doritos into.
