A couple of sources that document the reign of secrecy exercised by the present administration. For instance, do you remember the Cheney Energy Task Force? Cheney fought the records of this groups meetings being released. Does the title “Foreign Suitors for Iraqi Oilfield Contracts" ring a bell?

"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
