People clearly think that their federal government is more secretive than state or local governments. And they are probably right. It has become more difficult to get information out of the federal government.
This is about the only good news I've had all week. Clearly, people are starting to understand that information is being taken away from them.
Journalists who cover national security and defense receive classified information all the time. It's virtually routine. If that were the standard for bringing an espionage case, we'd be locking up a lot of people in this town and there would be fewer sources of information.
When you have more and more information being classified, and more and more secrets being kept, the only way reporters can get information is when internal whistleblowers provide it. And that drives this administration crazy.
