Secrecy News provides original reporting on national security secrecy policy, and offers direct public access to government records of public policy significance that are otherwise hard to obtain.
It is part of a larger Federation of American Scientists project to reduce government secrecy, to help build responsive and accountable government institutions, and to engage the attentive public in the deliberative process.
If you share our objectives, or if you simply find our work useful for your own purposes, we hope that you will help to sustain this activity with a financial contribution.
