"As a matter of general principle, I believe that there can be no doubt that criticism in time of war is essential to the maintenance of any kind of democratic government. . . Too many people desire to suppress criticism simply because they think it will give some comfort to the enemy to know that there is such criticism. If that comfort makes the enemy feel better for a few moments, they are welcome to it as far as I am concerned, because the maintenance of the right of criticism in the long run will do the country maintaining it a great deal more good than it will do the enemy, and it will prevent mistakes which might otherwise occur." -Robert A. Taft, Republican Senator from Ohio, Dec. 19, 1941
"Secrecy and a free, democratic government don't mix." -Harry S. Truman, US President
"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it." -George W. Bush, Business Week, July 30, 2001
