>>Not exactly comforting to those of us who feel that information is the lifeblood of a democracy and the more that information is withheld from the citizens of this country, the less democracy we are going to be allowed to have.<<

No right is unbridled, not even constitutional rights. Every claim must be balanced against competing claims.

You have a claim that information should be available. Others have a claim that information should be kept secret in order to protect national interests. There is a process by which these claims are evaluated, balanced, and resolved.

If you don't find that comforting, you're unreasonable. The only people who expect to get their way all the time are people aged less than three, and even they need to learn to live with it.
