We definitely have different defaults. When there is an ongoing series of issues involving questionable actions and questionable justifications, all draped behind a veil of secrecy, I want it out in the open. If a subsequent Democratic president declared a war on homicide in the US because it kills thousands of Americans every year (far more than terrorism ever has or will), used these measures and said the whole thing is classified so don't you dare question what we are doing, much less publish it in the open, the press and the Republicans would be after them like a pack of Georgia hounds. When the executive reaches too far, this is how we keep them from going over the edge and possibly taking us with them. I know you don't see the same threat from these intrusions, but many of us do and value the press as a check on unbridled power.
