Having access to secrets is the most important secret to keep

This morning we will hear lots of justifications from our friends about why the giving away of classified information should be OK.

If you hear this line of reasoning, recommend the movie "The Imitation Game".

It is the story of how Alan Turing and his team cracked the Nazi code in WWII. When they did, they had the power to stop every single move that Hitler made.

However, they carefully chose not to because it would have quickly alerted the Nazis and they would have changed their means of communication. They had to use their information carefully to play the long strategic game.

Maybe if they see this movie, they will get it.

As a bonus, maybe they will also get a clue about how horrible gay people were treated.
