Poll: Americans Apparently Oppose Disclosure Of Treasury Program
From a Fox News poll:
Here's another one:
Analysis here.
Normally I'm of the opinion that any single poll usually isn't worth the paper it is written on, but when the results are this lop-sided they've got to tell us something.
As I pointed out in my previous post about the disclosure of the Treasury's anti-terror program, the decision as to what details of national security initiatives should and should not be made public should be made by our elected leaders...not by journalists. For journalists to think that these decisions are theirs to make is so arrogant that I cannot imagine how any American can be pleased with what they have done.
We elect leaders in this country so that their decisions will matter. When journalists ignore that, they ignore the will of the people. That generally doesn't make the people very happy, and I think the poll above is an indication of that.
