In a free and open country, the free flow of factual and accurate information is paramount. For the Pentagon, or CIA or any other member of the alphabet soup club to monopolize and manipulate information to suit their agenda is something this country cannot stand.

Let us assume, for the sake of argument, that preznit Bush did not lie. What is left is that he was lie to. This might be even more egregious. For an administration to surround itself with self seeking ideologues willing to lie to the president of the United States, encourage him to invade and occupy another soverign state for false reasons requires not only investigation, the censure of history; but also, immediate executive action and severe punishment.

The military penchant for classification of everything and protecting as prepriatory property demographic information is not only antidiluvian, but stupid.

We do not need secrecy, leave that to James Bond movies. We need honesty and analysis of data to help us maintain our position in the world and stay ahead of the curve for the benefit of Americans.
