Trump assassination suspect Ryan Routh, who is accused of attempting to shoot the president at one of his golf courses, has been blocked from accessing "classified information" related to his case.
I will agree the government has a right to keep things classified
Can you explain why you think this? I’m not trying to argue or anything, just interested in others reasoning. For context: I am contemplating the contradictions of a government “of, for and by the people”, is funded by the people, and that is allowed to withhold information from those same people.
Say there are analysts/agents preventing cyber-warfare by other countries. Their personal information and methods need to be kept secret to continue being effective when charging foreigners that commit espionage or damaging attacks against domestic targets.
Maybe right is to strong a term as that word should only be used for humans. More that its reasonable that some things need to be classified. Military capability comes to mind as a lot of money can be saved by it not being known how extensive capabilities are.
