From the Free Expression Policy Project:
Clearly, we can’t depend on judges alone to put the brakes on an overly secretive and gag order-happy government. Only an outraged populace can give judges the necessary support for openness and executive officers the necessary message that it, not secrecy, should be the default setting for democracy. And only a vigilant press can assure that the public knows how much information is kept secret, and how undue secrecy can distort both democracy and history.
