According to this article, 2004 was the most secretive year yet for the US government. Fewer classified documents were released to the public (10% more than in previous years) while more documents were made classified and for a longer period of time. While no one wants government secrets to cause possible security breeches, OpenTheGovernment is concerned that citizens who need to acquire information for their own safety will not be able to do so.
