Thank you Russ Feingold.
See Russ Feingold: Government in Secret in the LA Times via Common Dreams:
... It’s a given in our democracy that laws should be a matter of public record. But the law in this country includes not just statutes and regulations, which the public can readily access. It also includes binding legal interpretations made by courts and the executive branch. These interpretations are increasingly being withheld from the public and Congress. ...
In a serious presidential campaign, the Bush administration's performance on the issue of secrecy in a democratic society would be debated endlessly by the major candidates. How about you, Sen. McCain: What's your opinion on the Bush administration's commitment to secrecy?
I don't believe we will get this discussion in the campaign from George Stephanopoulos, Charles Gibson and Wolf Blitzer.
