"
I'll turn the page on a growing empire of classified information. We'll
protect sources and methods, but we won't use sources and methods to
hide the truth."- Barack Obama
" When I am
president,....I will empower the federal government to operate from a
presumption of openness, not secrecy... I will direct my administration
to prevent needless classification of information that ought to be
shared with the public. "- Hillary Clinton
