It's a tough thing man because it's a fragile balance between the right to be informed what the government we appoint is doing and the duty that that government has to protect us and therefore keep some information private. And I would be on your side 100% if it was a United States that wasn't at war right now or if it was a United States that people truly felt was being run honestly and transparently. But the way things are now with the corruption, foreign political influences on national political policies and the war that was just started on false pretenses, people need to say that the government has overstepped their bounds and has become out of the people's control, and they need to know exactly why their country is in the situation it is in. If it means there are people's lives put in danger so be it - I'd rather a soldier's life be in danger that is fighting for my freedom over a soldier somewhere enforcing a policy that doesn't benefit me in any way while I'm at home clueless funding the operation.
