Yes,all nations have at least *some* closed records.East Germany,for example,had many,*many* closed records.But when they were opened up (against the wishes of East German officials) the world learned lots and lots of,shall we say..."interesting"...things about the entire Soviet Bloc.
Can I assume from your post that you're OK with the Former Twelfth Lady refusing to turn over e-mails,etc,that are connected with Benghazi? Can I assume that you're OK with Osama Obama refusing to fully address his claim of having been born in Kenya (as seen on the dust jacket of one of his dozen autobiographies) with his more recent claims of having been born in Hawaii?
They say that sunlight is the great "disinfectant".Dishonest people fear it,respectable people don't.Declaring bankruptcy isn't illegal.Many would argue that t isn't even immoral.But,as I said earlier...the only way I can think of to enforce this is to censor the internet as the Chinese do.Using China as an example...I was in Hong Kong a few months ago.Every time I tried to sign onto google there I got the ".cn" version...".cn" being the domain of Communist China.I tried looking up "Tienanmen Square" on the site.Guess what I did,and didn't,find...I *did* find many beautiful pictures of the area...all featuring that wonderful picture of Chairman Mao.I *didn't* see photos featuring a single drop of blood.Are you starting to catch my drift?
If "Pedro" did *not*,in fact,declare bankruptcy then by all means that stuff should be erased.If he *did*....no sympathy from me.

I WOULD like to know what the NSA-type folks are collecting and when they are collecting it.
