Keeping it secret

With all the commotion about classified documents, it's good to know that the government actually also declassifies documents.  Of course, the declassification does not have to be done until the documents are 25 years old and we have almost 3,000 people classifying and only 70 declassifying documents.  We spend over $11 billion classifying and $9,000,000 declassifying.  The backlog simply increases.  It's good to live under an administration which "is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government."  What if the administration weren't so committed?
