Government is not always forthcoming with information.
Is the U.S. government too secretive?
Secrecy is vital to national security, but too much secrecy erodes democracy. Most Americans understand that. Nearly nine in 10 Americans say it's important to know presidential and congressional candidates' positions on open government, but three out of four view the federal government as secretive, according to a survey released Sunday.
Scripps Howard News Service and Ohio University conducted the survey in conjunction with Sunshine Week, a nationwide effort by media organizations to draw attention to the public's right to know.
Is the U.S. government to obsessed with secrecy? Has a culture of secrecy undermined American freedom?

Submitted on March 17th, 2008 by AnonymousThis administration is unbelievably secretive, classifying not only their papers but those of their predecessors. Who would have thought somebody could make Nixon look open. I place most of the blame directly at the feet of VP Cheney. His stonewalling on the Energy Meeting has set the pattern for the whole administration, and the spurning of Congress in the matter of the Attorneys General Firings is unprecedented.
