Bowing to ‘World Opinion’/ Secrecy in warfare is a matter of life and death.

By Thomas Sowell    "How many Americans may pay with their lives for the intelligence secrets and methods that can be forced to be disclosed to al-Qaeda was not mentioned. Nor was there mention of how many foreign nations and individuals whose cooperation with us in the War on Terror have been involved in countering al-Qaeda — nor how many foreign nations and individuals will have to think twice now, before cooperating with us again, when their role can be revealed in court to our enemies, who can exact revenge on them."...."As a private citizen, Barack Obama has a right to make as big a jackass of himself as he wants to. But, as president of the United States, his actions not only denigrate a nation that other nations rely on for survival, but raise questions about how reliable our judgment and resolve are — which in turn raises questions about whether those nations will consider themselves better off to make the best deal they can with our enemies."
