A Question with no Answer:

  As outrage over NSA spying continues, another outrage has re-surfaced.  How dare the government keep these types of activities secret from its citizens.  It's an interesting position, should the government be allowed to conceal information from its citizens?  On one hand, the government needs to declassify information from the public to uphold national security and avoid interference with our offensive tactics.  On the other hand, if the government is allowed to keep confidential information, than there is next to nothing stopping it from undermining the rights of its citizens.  There is no middle ground with this issue because there is no way of supervising which secrets the government keeps and which they make public.  At least, not without undermining the entire system as a whole.  Do we give up national security or personal security; it is a question with no answer.
