There is a difference between a group that does it’s work in the open but isn’t reported on and a group that establishes their work area as a classified zone. I spent 24 years in the military, and I’ve seen the difference.

I admit that I often thought the most secretive of military papers should be classified ‘confidential’ instead of ‘top secret’. No one was interested in reading them.

Nonetheless, top secret came with all kinds of legal controls and penalties.

Well, this isn't totally in the open but all 535 members of congress can see the work in progress if they want to.

Do you know what level of classification this draft has? I haven't really heard.
