from article "What makes this worse, is that the gains we have made in the last decades have been to “ease the access” of information, such as the FOIA requests. Why have we not drawn a line in the sand, and required less to be hidden in the first place?"
Government won't address overclassification because news orgs have been ignoring it since the Carter admin. Most national-desk journalists are willing to twister their reporting, in order to maintain their deference to the NatSec state.
the article really opened my eyes to the ridiculousness of celebrating FOIA and other transparency initiatives, when the gov really just shouldn't HAVE all those secrets.
