I wouldn't use that as an argument in favor of total transparency, so much as one against corruption. As has been stated repeatedly, there are some things, military, government, legal, and commercial, that must remain secret, otherwise Bad Things can happen.

Yes, and I said that was unaceptable and should be fully punishable. Sorry to jump down your throat but total transparency is idealistic, unworkable, and dangerous.
