13 things that the government should not withhold from the public.
According to Bill Quigley quoting US Senator Ron Wyden and Mark Udall on counterpunch.com, there is a significant gap between what most Americans think that the law allows and what the government secretly claims that they allow. I always fail to understand why the government tends to be so mysterious about certain files or laws that they feel are sensitive to the minds of the general public. If there is in fact information and/or laws that the federal officials believe should not be leaked to the public, then I feel that they should give specific reasons why instead of leaving us in the dark. Furthermore making us wonder why they won't tell us.
Apparently, many heading government positions including the department of justice and the head of the NSA are “keeping massive amounts of information about the surveillance of the US and other people secret from voters,” says Bill. This troubles me, as means that officials of the federal government are allegedly trying to mislead the public from the truth. I’d like to know truly why they feel that this is necessary for the safety of our country. Is there really such information that is so sensitive that it would likely compromise the stability of our countries and its’ citizens.
Bill later states on behalf of the New York Times that “the NSA secretly collects virtually all international email and text communications which cross the US borders in or not.” This is without a doubt wrong for any overarching government and/or agency to have access to basically all of its’ nations information that they assume is only visible to them and their desired contacts. Any way that a government agency can breach information that the owner does not want them seeing is a false representation of their “good” morals if they do in fact say that their nation is secure.
