"There's a 'total meltdown' in America's intelligence services - and the Bush administration's penchant for secrecy is one of the major reasons why, current and former top U.S. spooks charged Tuesday. Bush's White House has pushed like few before it to put government information out of the public's grasp. Moves to classify documents are up 400 percent from a decade ago, to more than 23 million such actions in 2002, according to the Information Security Oversight Office, a division of the National Archives. But despite their cloak-and-dagger reputation, several of the country's leading spies, past and present, aren't happy about the rush to make things secret. To counter far-reaching, stealthy terrorist cabals, the country needs more openness, not less... Said Rich Haver, until recently Donald Rumsfeld's special assistant for intelligence, now with Northrop Grumman. 'We're compartmentalizing the s**t out of things. It's causing a total meltdown of our intelligence processes.'"
