taerowynInteresting article on Bush and the First Amendment:
Last year, the federal government created 14 million new secrets, a 25% increase over the previous year, which was a record, also. There has been a significant slowdown in the declassification of old secrets. There are new efforts to reclassify secrets that have been unclassified. The president has granted classification authority to four new federal agencies. More than 4,000 individuals now have the power to wield the “Top Secret” stamp.
