Eyes in Space...
According to Drudge this morning, there exists a agency that spies from space.
In a Sci-Fi sort of way I think that's cool, however, I find myself wondering why this stuff is made public and gets reported. In so doing do we not hamper our nation's ability to fight terror and ultimately protect ourselves, all in the name of the "public having knowledge"?
Now I understand the importance of FOIA, and the public's access to what the government does, but there seems to just be some things we should not be privy to, things that are in place to protect us and monitor our enemies, foreign and domestic. If the American public knows, you can be sure the terrorists can find out as well.
Where is the balance?
