5.0 out of 5 stars The Single Best Examination of Secrecy Costs, October 16, 2008
This review is from: Report of the Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy (Plastic Comb)
I testified to this Commission, both publicly and also in a private session in the office of Daniel Patrick Moynihan (RIP).

This is the single best non-partisan overview of the costs of unnessary secrecy, as well as the imperatives of providing proper definition and protection of necessary secrets.

I note with appreciation that my testimony led him to include the words "open source" in his cover letter of transmittal to the White House.

For a sense of the logical implementation of the findings of this Commission, see THE SMART NATION ACT: Public Intelligence in the Public Interest.

For a sense of how we must radically alter the "closed circle" of national intelligence to embrace the entire Nation and indeed the Whole Earth, see Collective Intelligence: Creating a Prosperous World at Peace.
