It's a catch-22. The information necessary to fully appreciate what's going on is classified and the only way to understand the argument completely is to get a high level clearance which then prevents you from making any arguments about it.

That's one way to put it but it seems like a jarringly bad way. Secrecy is such powerful force that we shouldn't bluntly say it has a corrupting, corrosive and poisonous effect on our society? I disagree. It is so powerful we should say that.

Sorry if that's too simple or something
