I am reminded of this, from The Storm of War, page 35, that happened in 1939 Britain during the Phoney War:

The national Labour MP Harold Nicolson recorded in his war diaries that the Ministry of Information censors had refused to publish the wording of a leaflet, of which two million copies had been dropped over Berlin, on the grounds that "we are not allowed to disclose information that might be of value to the enemy."

When the enemy is less dangerous to government than the governed, democracy cannot long last.
