Secrecy, the enemy of democracy

Yes, even before 9/11, the Bush admnistration was acting guilty? Wonder why?

Secrecy, the enemy of democracy Chicago Tribune:

The next time our government insists it needs to keep things secret from us, we should remember where we are today.

From the day it took office, the Bush administration wrapped itself in unprecedented secrecy. It intentionally hid critical information about its deliberations and decisions from Congress, the courts, the press and citizens. Those who attempted to investigate or disclose what the administration kept secret were attacked and discredited.
