If I had time I'd write a book on this immediately and expect it would sell well -- there is a hungry audience for this kind of analysis. Bruce Schneier linked to this, and I find it fascinating. It's a powerpoint, so to make it easy for you, I'm including a few screenshots below. The title is: "The Declining Half Life of Secrets." Here's a summary quote: "The decline of secrets is the rise of transparency."

I like that it's obvious that refusing to hire someone who supports EFF is a bad idea.
This is the best part: "Now it's turned against the IC (Intelligence Community)." IC is a tool of the elites, and needs to be pruned back to its original purpose. Looks like nature is doing the pruning.
Concluding words. I personally think a 12-step program for people used to secrecy is very funny, but as with anyone who needs a 12-step program, they probably don't.
