ok well, that is your opinion.
Most of the CIA and military take their confidentiality very seriously, so I'm not sure exactly what we should do about transparency. The immediate end-result to this would seem to be that the CIA just stops telling the white house and state anything. So we'll just be completely out of the loop.

The then-director of the CIA (who was a lifelong military man) wanted to be more forthcoming with the public, so I'm not sure that's what's going on here.
