I agree that when the classification process is used by the government not to hide secrets from an enemy, but to hide politically inconvenient facts from the American public, then the patriotic thing to do is expose those sham "secrets" in the sunlight.
The only "secret" regarding the bank monitoring program was the admin was once again snooping into the private lives of citizens with absolutely no checks and balances. The "secret" was that our private bank accounts could be breached at the whim of the administration, with no accountability, no record, no lawful process.
I am certain that the Bush administration's political use of the classification/declassification process has damaged our country much more deeply than a NY Times story reporting that the US Government tracks terrorist finances (duh).
