Absolutely not. We, the People, cannot see what is being done "in our name." Any government that holds secrets from its citizenry is a government
open to subversion.
"But what about military secrets??? Don't we need secrecy for that?"
No. If we do not exploit or strong-arm other countries, they will have no reason to attack us. And in fact, they haven't in a very long while.
"Terrorists" are manufactured fear-mongering put in place by a subverted government that is using us to their own end, manipulating us through our
fear.
If we are truly to be a country of, by and for the People... The People must make all choices, and to do that, the People must know the true state of
affairs.
We have been duped through our fear into believing that we need ANY secrecy in the operation of our land in any capacity.
My position is that all elected federal officials should be required to wear video/audio equipment virtually 24/7 while in office as their sacrifice
for their country. If they can watch us, we must be able to watch them. Feed the vid to a public access set of channels.
The LESS secrecy in government, the safer we will be.
