If there are hidden reasons, I would think U.S. citizens should be protesting on the streets, since there is apparently no transparency, and that those reasons kept from the public might be even more sinister than whatever Saddam, or Bin Laden, can come up with. So much then for "world security". Has the U.S. become such a police state that people there accept such nonsense such as "reasons unbeknownst to the public"? It becomes silly when you accept such things.

There are many things known only to the government that could cause frenzy among the people of the US should it be known. The public knows as much as it needs to know to be(for the most part anyways) satisfied. Besides, what are you going to do, sue the government for the top secret information they have? I believe you said above in the quote, it doesnt really matter what they people dont know, as long as the US is safe. People live in ignorance everyday, not just in the US either. guess what? the people really arent worried about the things they dont know about, if their life is ok then they dont care. I dont care about what secrets the government has, Im not going to spend my time worrying about something that I dont even know about. Sometimes those things that are unknown to the public are best left unknown to the public.
