I agree!

And let's unseal all the sealed criminal files, too. I want to know who is making secret plea bargains and settlements and evaluate whether they were appropriate decisions or not by the district attorney. Oh, and I also want to know who is really guilty or not. And don't forget the juvenile ones - we know character doesn't really change just because you hit the age of majority - I demand to know who the rotten kids were, because I just KNOW they are rotten adults, too, and I want to make sure they can't get jobs that I don't feel they deserve.

And let's unseal all the witness protection program files, too! I want to know who in my neighborhood might be the target of a mafia hit, so I can bully them into moving away.

What? What do you mean some things should remain secret? I don't get it!

Because most people aren't self-aware enough to know when they're championing free speech and transparency in the abstract vs. championing free speech they agree with, and it's safer to campaign from principle than opinion.

In the Rackspace case, the opinion of the people about burning the Koran trumped any "principled" opinion about free speech, so Rackspace got a pass.
