Have you contemplated the statements of JFK?

“The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it.”

I remember him making that statement. I was somewhat critial at the time. Nevertheless, I agreed with the main point. I just thought he was unrealistic. I think he was more realistic to the true facts than I was.

Sure not a JFKphile, I see no reference to military or national secrets of which he was no small player.
