President Obama created by executive order Tuesday a National Declassification Center to oversee efforts to make once-secret government documents public.
The order comes as part of Obama's promise to push government to err on the side of disclosure as it tackles the need to keep certain information from the public.
In a post on the White House blog, William H. Leary, the senior director of records and access management at the National Security Council, writes that the effort is aimed at shifting the burden of defending secrecy to the government.

The ignorance of this Administration is astounding. I am truly left to believe that they want our enemies to intentionally exploit our vulnerabilities. This Center can serve no good purpose in time of War. Now you will have Polticial Witch Hunters demanding disclosure of once classified information that has kept this nation safe. We have come full circle this is just one more step to ensuring that the Cloward Piven Manufactured Crisis and the fall of Capitalism can be pulled off by these treasonous Socialists.

In the executive order, Obama instructs the government not to keep secrets forever, eliminates the ability of intelligence officials to veto declassification decisions, and requires agencies to conduct reviews of their classification procedures.
Just in time for KSM to use in his trial.

If anyone has read the thing, there is some interesting language in section 1.7;
Sec. 1.7. Classification Prohibitions and Limitations.
(a) In no case shall information be classified, continue to be maintained as classified, or fail to be declassified in order to:
(1) conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error;
(2) prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency;
So when will his birth certificate be released now that it cannot be classified top secret or secret?
