man sometime i wich to know every single goverment secret?

You are right! I wich they spent some money to educate you properly!

You state "they hide millions and millions of thing from the society and from the people", so ask yourself, how long would it take you to just COUNT to "millions and millions"? If someone gave you those secrets on a silver platter, how long would it take you to READ THEM?

The Government needs to have secrets, otherwise, our nation would not be safe. But, just the sheer volume of Government matters means than no individual, no single watchdog group, could ever sift through things.

And, of course, what would you do with those secrets? They are of no value to anyone except to a spy.

Why? I think the end of The Raiders of the Lost Ark is THE best depiction of "government secrets" - potentially useful and tremendous things stored in boxes and forgotten about because of the faceless, brainless and characterless bureaucrats utterly incapable of comprehending them. Only, of course, there is no lost Arc and no aliens in Area 51 or anywhere else, and the secrets are by far less exciting and interesting... so you're really talking about very dull and dim people hiding very ugly, dull and dim things.

I feel years ago they left people in the dark about most things this generation is more likely to find out all. It's harder to hide because of internet and filming people from your cell phones.

I have even seen media tell the public military strategy before it was performed. I do believe certain things should be hushed for national security. This generation would drop a dime on you in second even there own mother for a buck so nothing is sacred not even our nations security and that is scary!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry guys got to pass the torch to the next generation!!

I do not think I would want to know all the governments secrets; sometimes not knowing is the best thing like the process of making sausage. Yes there are secrets the government keeps and secrets companies keep and secrets people keep and knowing everything is not necessarily the best thing.

I know what you mean, I am not a conspiracy theorists but there is no doubt in my mind the government hides things. Right now there is a document in the government repository in Maryland dated 1917 that is still considered too sensitive to release to the public.

Makes me wonder what happened almost a hundred years ago that would matter today anf how much more information that we are not privy to.

Government secrets never remain secret for long.

Especially with their recent habit of leaving MoD files lying around on trains, or "losing" a few hundred laptops.....

Things are hidden for reasons. Like my name. And they aren't called government secrets anymore the are called classified documents. If you live in the U.S. You can Mail the white house for information from the

"The Freedom of Information Act

5 U.S.C. § 552, As Amended By

Public Law No. 104-231, 110 Stat. 3048"

obviously there is no transparency in government, a recent closed door secret meeting of the senate is proof there is secrets, sen. dennis cucinich of ohio objected to this because it goes against the constitution, and he refused to be part of it, it was believed to do with the wiretapping laws passed in america, and exactly what it entails.

The only thing to know is the government is a criminal organization . Out to screw the people . So never give one of them a even break .

never at the very least you find out in 25 or so years but never until it is challenged in a high court. if everything was put out in the open in this day and age we would see anarchy. not somethng worth knowing all the truth about. one day perhaps but deffinetly not in this time period. to many wackos out there you don't want them to know do you?
