If the government wants to get out of something, they need only utter “national security” and all concerns are nullified.
This excuse is abhorrent and has no place in a democracy.
Authorities should be demanding better explanations. If a source is at risk of exposure, fine, say that. If it’s another case, say that.
If you can’t come up with anything more palatable than “national security” then it’s a clear sign you have no ground to stand on.
Shame on you people who use the excuse of “national security”. You are not worthy of the democracy you enjoy.
Who said something about national security? Link?
Ah, ya just hear it on the news all the time. Latest one was about some guy with a security certificate who has been in jail or under bracelet for 6 years or something. They finally released the certificate because they couldn’t provide evidence due to “national security” concerns.
