The government has too many secrets according to a report issued today by The Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy. The commission, chaired by Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, (D-NY) says that the government's "culture of secrecy" hinders decision making and wastes billions of dollars each year. The panel says that new procedures aimed at reducing the number of classified documents will better protect the relatively few documents that are important to national security.
