Many people I know don't believe there are any state secrets. They say somebody would leak it. Must be nice to think that's how the world works!



Dont think there are state secrets, or dont think a state should have secrets? I know a few libertarians who honestly believe that a government should be totally open with its citizens. But none of them believe that the country's military planning should be shared with the enemy. None of them believe that weapon designs should be shared worldwide in the name of openness.
