Just talking TACTICS, not policy: Since when did "democracy" mean telling adversaries your plans?

[UTUSN]

ABC's lead story was that the potential strike on Syria might be "much larger" than what we've been led to believe. Repeating, am NOT discussing the very separate topic of whether or not to do anything, am talking tactics, and, yes, HOW MUCH information do we have a NEED to know, or even whether it's (not) a RIGHT to know, which has a bearing on the recent unpleasantness here about our personal information.

In WWII the byword was, "Loose lips sink ships."

When you're playing strategy games and are playing to win, you don't don't show and tell what you're about.
