Reuters reports that Cheney is worried about people finding out stuff.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Vice President Dick Cheney said on Wednesday he feared a new Sept. 11 inquiry proposed by the top Senate Democrat would leak intelligence secrets and undercut U.S. efforts to prevent future attacks.
Aside from the more than arguable theoretical merits of his position, it seems to me the security problem up to now has been that government “intelligence” has been entirely too secret for our own good.
