Declassification Group Wants Help Crafting Sensible Secrecy

The congressionally-mandated Public Interest Declassification Board is making use of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's blog to collect public input on government-wide reform of how we approach the classification of information, as part of an attempt to deal with the secrecy-inflation in recent years that has seen every order form for a new carton of printer paper marked "Top Top Secret." At the moment, PIDB is most interested in figuring out whether it would help matters to establish a National Declassification Center. Join the discussion.

The people has the right to

The people has the right to know what is happening within their country. They have the right to be informed. They should not be deprive of such right. Anyway, have you heard about the Children’s Place, it was allegedly doctored information to drive up the stock value of the company artificially. The company has lawsuit insurance, so they are settling out of court, and might not need personal loans to cover the damage. The company has been having fiscal difficulties over the past few years, and has been cutting costs as fast they can to restore some profitability. If the actions were taken as policy it might constitute securities fraud, which would mean the Children's Place would need more than installment loans to get out of trouble.
