"If governments did not mislead their citizens so……" — Peter Singer

"If governments did not mislead their citizens so often, there would be less need for secrecy, and if leaders knew they could not rely on keeping the public in the dark about what they are doing, they would have a powerful incentive to behave better."

— Peter Singer
