Put another way, in a healthy democracy: - The citizenry knows almost all of what their government is doing; secrecy is the exception. - The govt should know nothing about what private citizens are doing; warrants are the exception. Washington has *completely* reversed this. — PolitiTweet.org

I've seen NSA docs about lunch menus and CIA guides on requesting vacation dates marked CLASSIFIED and thus illegal to leak. In a healthy government, everything is *presumptively* transparent; secrecy is the exception. But in DC, everything is *presumptively* secret and hidden. — PolitiTweet.org

In the US, the US Government operates behind a virtually impenetrable wall of secrecy, where everything they do is presumptively secret. Meanwhile, the USG surveils and monitors the citizenry, knowing everything private citizens are doing. This was supposed to be the opposite. — PolitiTweet.org
