Question Description
In today’s world, it is hard for any government or corporation to hide questionable activities. While WikiLeaks and Blogs have opened out eyes to many hidden agenda,still exist. The Patriot Act, invoked by President Bush in the wake of 9/11/01, restricted many documents that were available under the Freedom of Information Act. Citing national security, most people accepted this immediately following the attacks. President Obama has extended the Patriot Act and expanded the restrictions on access to information. He has done this with our approval from Congress. Fourteen years have passed since the Patriot Act was invoked; do we as citizens have a right to know what our government is doing and why we must remain under heightened national security? Do we need to know everything our government is doing?
