So if Sam doesn't start showing some leniency on how much they keep classified about their 'Fly-by-people-with-unmanned-toys' operations and projects then people will keep thinking that all they do is fly around shooting Americans. Uncle Sam would rather people have information about the Drones than about highly-classified C.I.A. operations- which is why this thing is in debate now. Of course, the arguing side think the public shouldn't know about either and that giving up information on the Drones could mean that the public will push for stupid rights like knowing about other issues that the Five-sides don't really feel like talking about.
If this does happen, what exactly are we going to know about these Drones? Where they fly around? Where they're based? Who flies them? Where they're based? Who they're going to pop off next? I don't really see it working- the Pentagon just showing up and talking about how they killed foreigners on the other side of the planet. That's a lot of press conferences that would need to be had.
