| The public's right to know |
Douglas Farah at the Counterterrorism Blog (an increasingly useful information source, by the way) has a great post up about the balance between secrecy for the protection for the protection of vital information, and secrecy for its own sake, and what role the media plays in weighing that balance.
In short, Farah comes down on the side of public disclosure in matters such as the NSA spy program and the Bush administration's rendition policy, since both involve the potential for abuse.
