This is why some version of the LTAA I drafted must be passed to prevent state secrets from being perpetually abused. I understand the need to keep certain information confidential for a LIMITED period of time under well established and agreed upon standards but those should be rare and the information still must be disclosed I think at a maximum of 5 years preferably less time than that. Certain issues like diplomatic or legal strategies, active lawsuit litigation should be confidential for the time that those activities are on going but after the case has been closed or the diplomacy that was being discussed has been achieved they must be disclosed ASAP for the sake of a fully transparent government. And no black budgets either those are the most terrifying to me!
