Why This Matters

Your right to know gets crushed:

When presidents threaten to prosecute officials for sharing truthful intelligence assessments, you lose access to information needed to evaluate government claims about military actions that could drag America into war

Congressional oversight disappears:

Limiting classified information sharing to Congress eliminates legislative branch's constitutional duty to check executive war powers, leaving you with no elected oversight of military decisions

Press freedom under assault:

Threatening to subpoena reporters for sources creates a chilling effect that prevents journalists from investigating government claims, leaving you vulnerable to propaganda and misinformation about military conflicts

Intelligence manipulation enables endless war:

When administrations silence dissenting intelligence assessments, they can manipulate public perception to justify continued military action, potentially trapping America in another costly Middle East conflict

Truth becomes partisan weapon:

Labeling factual intelligence assessments as politically motivated "Deep State" attacks destroys the credibility of professional intelligence analysis that protects national security
