the bush admin is classifying documents at a record pace and reclassifying previously available info going back to the 1940s. 2004's total was 15.6M items. that's one every 2 seconds.
according to gary hart, classifying one document costs $462.
that means it cost $7.2B in '04.
the 9/11 commission said excessive secrecy degraded info sharing and set the stage for 9/11.
now we have even more secrecy, and many wonder how much of it is for national security and how much is political, to cover bush's ass.
given the price, i should've said his gold-plated ass.
