The DOD and private military contractors are basically killing legislation that permits Congress to see UFO files that they (the DOD and contractors) say they don't have."

It's like when a wife accuses her husband of having an affair and he denies the affair but refuses to let her see his phone and/or credit card statement.

“It’s like when a wife accuses her husband of having an affair and he denies the affair but refuses to let her see his phone and/or credit card statement.”

It’s when one spouse illegally accesses that information without the other spouses consent that it becomes a criminal act.

Same rules apply for the standards set by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Nefarious and acrimonious human conduct drives privacy law. I applaud these protections. People (spouses are people too) can be ruthless.

Turn that around, and that is what happened to me...

I’m not a lawyer, but even when married, I should think the husband has the right to refuse showing those things.
But that’s not your point. It’s the appearance of impropriety when someone doesn’t cooperate with interrogation. N’est pas?

I don’t understand why everyone thinks it’s okay to unveil state and national security seccrets.

Sure you are curious.
So am I. I was reading books on this stuff while my peers were reading comic books or Tokien or whatever. Like spooky Mulder ‘I wanted to believe’, but I’m hyper skeptical and it’s almost all just as concocted as the aforementioned comic books and fantasy novels.

So the arguments I’m getting is that these are bad people, bad corporations, and nobody can be trusted.
But what is the point of the transparency besides rabid curiosity?
I’m looking at it from a risk/reward standpoint, and while poeple can tell me what the risks of keeping national security secure are, they can’t seem to convince me that there is some great reward for ‘transparency’ that is worth it. The motives seem selfish at best, and as I have said in other threads, I just don’t trust that the driving forces behind the push for transparency aren’t friendly to us.
