Telling Secrets

    March 5th, 2013.

      Andrew Rosenthal has created a very interesting article on the New York Times  website. It seems like it will challenge a lot of people’s beliefs. The intended audience for this particular blog is anyone who is interested in national security and those who follow politics and the government’s central intelligence intensely. In my perspective, the main argument of this blog is that citizens of the United States of America should have access to anything that affects their livelihood and their security at large. I feel that anyone who lives in this country and calls this nation home should definitely be able to find out whatever information they need to that may cause any harm.  In the article, Rosenthal blatantly states, “…we all should know what’s going on. The documents should be made public for everyone to read.” I completely agree, and not only should everyone have access to the documents but somehow some way Congress and President Obama should at least conjure up a way to receive the citizens’ opinion on the matter. Not necessarily take every person’s personal and specific answers into consideration, but at least account for a majority of the population and then Obama and or Congress can declare the official answer based off what will benefit us as a whole. However, I also feel the head of this country should do whatever it takes to put an end to terrorism and keep our nation as safe as possible. If that means that we have to keep all terrorist matters confidential and ultimately up to the government’s concern and decisions only, then so be it.
