décisions de 20.5M pour classifier des documents

Il y avait 20.5 millions de décisions pour classifier des secrets de gouvernement l'année dernière, et un rapport au président a trouvé des imperfections sérieuses dans le processus.
L'Office d'inadvertance de sécurité de l'information ledit plus de 1 dans 10 documents qu'il a passés en revue a manqué d'une base pour la classification, « mettant en question la convenance » des décisions pour les placer outre des limites à la révélation publique.
« Le taux d'erreur élevé, » l'ISOO a indiqué dans sa revue annuelle annuelle, peut seulement être adressé par un effort à plusieurs facettes et une inadvertance continue.
The report comes as the office of Vice President Dick Cheney is refusing to cooperate with the office of the National Archives. The report noted that Cheney’s office “did not report data to ISOO this year.”
Executive branch agencies give the ISOO data on how much material they classify and declassify. Cheney’s office provided the information in 2001 and 2002, then stopped.
“The reviews of actual decision making are striking, given the vice president’s refusal to report” to the ISOO, said Meredith Fuchs, general counsel at the National Security Archive, a private group advocating public disclosure of government secrets.
The White House says it’s clear that the president’s executive order on the matter never intended for the vice president’s office to be treated as an agency.
The ISOO said the Pentagon reported a 35 percent decline in its activity to classify documents, and that the amount of classification government-wide declined for the second straight year.
However, the amount of derivative classification activity rose by more than 6 million actions.
Derivative classification is the act of incorporating in a new form information that has already been classified.
