White House: No more information about drone killings released to public

[ravedown]

transparency folks...

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters Thursday that the Obama administration will not be releasing any more information about the controversial use of drones to kill American citizens.

Carney’s remarks, via the White House’s transcript of the off-camera press gaggle:

“This is not an open-ended process. This is a specific and unique accommodation in this circumstance. The fact is, when it comes to public disclosure, we have been — not with the kind of attention that’s been given it this week — but we have been publicly discussing these matters at the highest levels of government for the very reason that I’ve given, which is the President understands that these are core issues about how we conduct ourselves in war, how the President of the United States — any President — balances his constitutional obligation to protect America and American citizens, and his obligation to do so in a manner that is lawful under the Constitution and reflects our values.

Everything secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.
Lord Acton

Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
Robert A. Heinlein

The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.
Patrick Henry

The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

The Mundanes are disallowed permission to know who their rulers murder.

The Mundanes are also disallowed permission to have any shred of information they create to be kept from their Rulers.

Assholes at the top only value their own Privacy as it creates for them a priviledge by which they can act without restriction or accountability. The Fourth Amendment was not recognized as a Right to protect Thieves and Liars from accountability. It was created to limit Govt the Scope of Authority.

John Adams once said:

“It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished.

But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, ‘whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,’ and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.”

The Privacy of the Mundane is diminished into oblivion so that Innocence is no protection, while Rulers have an ever increasing level of Secrecy by which to violate the Innocense of all Mundanes.

They must be planning to murder a bunch of people soon.

This one is easy, by not admitting when someone gets droned, the perception is created that they are not assassinating anyone. In today's world, perception is reality, therefore in the eyes of Joe Smoe, there are no drones killing anyone. If there is a leak, then the individual who leaked the information will be painted with the same brush they painted Snowden with. Hence, they will be brought up on very serious charges of violating national security during a time of war (the endless war on terror). My only question is why they waited so long?

 

[DGambler]

Obviously so it won't be public when they start droning at home.
