Keeping secrets is nature of the business. Informing the general public isn't part of the plan. Boy Raymond.. you're on the warpath tonight, aren't you now??... :0) Has it crossed your mind that the reason certain information might be kept secret might pertain to saving the life of the informant, or our own troops on the ground? Can you imagine if CNN had been running around merry 'ol England in 1944, telling the world that little ol army group headed by George Patton, and thought to be preparing to invade Calais, was really a ruse bent on fooling the Nasty ol Nazis?? Read up on "Operation Fortitude" and ask yourself if such a deception operation could ever be done again with complete "openess". We're at war Raymond.. And during war, people don't have a right to know things that could possibly get our boys and girls killed. And we don't have a right to know about whether or not an operation is real, or a deception. We survived the "secret police" and martial law of WWII Raymond, and remained one of the most free nations on the planet... and I betcha we'll survive this as well... Hawk
