The Potential of Secrecy without Accountability

I don’t know if the claims made by this CEO according to the Washington Post are true or not, but I suggest we would do well to give them due consideration.

First, do you regard this kind of activity as impossible? Is it unlikely that the executive branch of the government would do such things?

Second, what is there to prevent them from doing it? They declare the material secret, take action against a citizen, and then they try to block the defense by claiming all the evidence is secret.

Some government secrecy is necessary, but we must limit it, and we must make those who hold those secrets as accountable as possible. This man may simply be making a self-serving claim, but his story is way too possible, even easy, for my comfort.
