The best defence against evil, or merely incompetent, government is information. And every law that reduces the public's right to know what is occurring in the community strikes a blow against freedom… In defending democracy, the rights of whistleblowers to release information governments do not want us to have, without risking prosecution, and the ability of journalists to freely report what they are told are essential. |
