On June 16, 2013, Calvin Woodward of the Associated Press reported, inter alia:
"[President Obama] established a center devoted to
declassifying records and making them public. He announced an open
government initiative. Dizzying quantities of information poured into
public databases. New ways were devised to show taxpayers how their
money is spent. Allegiance was pledged to the rule of law."
Simultaneously, the Obama Administration "...prosecutes leakers like no
administration before it. It exercises state-secrets privileges to quash
court cases against it. It hides a vast array of directives and legal
opinions underpinning government actions — not just intelligence and not
all of it about national security."
One definition of schizophrenia is, "a state characterized by the coexistence of contradictory or incompatible elements."
