However, that's not my point - in the "old" days of the US, before you guys started trading away your freedoms for the illusion of security, there was the Freedom of Information Act. You could be comfortable in knowing that 25 years later, you'd get to see that document that the government was hiding detailing the planting of evidence in Iraq.
Bush has changed that. You might never see that document now. Just as some documents from 25 years ago are still not being released under "national security"..
Now, Super-Patriot theking will blah blah about National Security, what have you - but there's very little reason to believe that any document that's 25 years old will have any impact on the nations security today.
It's just sad. New democracies like the Czech Republic have more freedom than the one they are modelling it after. The US is rapidly turning into a police state.
