I am not sure how I feel about the other pardon. I guess I am a bad liberal, but the reality is that governments have secrets. There are good and bad reasons for them and we try to have checks and balances. But often the big picture depends on some level of secrecy. However there is a point to also notice the intention of making some secrets public, seeing real corruption and not finding ways to make change. Not an easy one!
