It is counter-intuitive and counter-productive for someone who thinks
   the government engages in secrecy to have the government violate rights
   in a secret manner that cannot be contested because of legal
   complexity.

   If the government engages in an action, it is popularly known, and it
   is popularly approved, it could be considered legitimate, but if it is
   done in secret, it may as well be mob rule.
