There are often cases where the reasons for keeping something classified no longer apply. There are also occasions when a document is classified solely to conceal wrongdoing on the part of those in power. In those cases the "people's right to know" should dictate that the information be declassified.

Where was Richard Reid tried? How about Zacarias Moussaoui? Jose Padilla? Who was president then?

How about he start with the Stimulus Bill and Health Care same. Not much disclosure or transparency in trying to ram stuff through without even his own congress not knowing their complete contents let alone the people.
Congress wrote both the Stimulus and the Health Care bills. How can you possibly maintain that they were kept in the dark?

The only reason there was a modicum of transparency there was because of many concerned about it. The "many" certianly was not him or his people.
