if they fed us the whole truth every country in the world would be in a state of war.
detante is about trust between countries, if something is said then it's a given that it doesn't get made public without permission. without it, we'd probably be in a state of constant war again. telling us all the whole truth sounds good but would probably cause more trouble when and where it wasn't needed. for instance, pakistan and the yemen can't openly tell it's people they gave permission for usa drones to bomb their lands. they'd be uproar. the usa can't tell it's people what it discusses with terrorist orgs or friends in battle. it would defeat the object of first strike, secrecy and counter intelligence.
do we want to know everything. personally i don't i want to know the out come. of course some things should have clarity. things like general funding, what they spend and where, who killed who. and other stuff, but not everything.
