Editorial Review: Product Description: This book explores a history of government secrecy as well as the current tensions between the Bush administration and the media. Of course, we would like to believe that in a country that prides itself on the freedom of speech and in this current information age, even everyday citizens could learn what exactly their elected officials are up to. However, that is not the case. Is the government's action to prevent and punish the leakage of classified information to the media within the realm of the First Amendment? Top Secret reveals exactly what factors are at work in this tension between government secrecy and freedom of the press. |
