dimisfh1,
Extract from DS1:
[ QUOTE ]
(23) Annex A and the classified Continuity Annexes, attached hereto, are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this directive.
(24) Security. This directive and the information contained herein shall be protected from unauthorized disclosure, provided that, except for Annex A, the Annexes attached to this directive are classified and shall be accorded appropriate handling, consistent with applicable Executive Orders.

Doesn't that tell you there are part of DS51 that are not public?
[/ QUOTE ]
Wow, the government has classified information, what a subversive concept.
[/ QUOTE ]
Classified legal directives are indeed subversive. Classifying the very way the govt is permitted to act is clearly usurping democratic principles.
[/ QUOTE ]
Not if the disclosure of those directives subverts the value of the underlying programs.
[/ QUOTE ]
Except you can't determine the value of the underlying programs if they are classified, and thus they subvert democracy because we just have to trust their value and aren't able to judge their value for ourselves or through our leaders.
Your statement in no way refutes this fact, and is not a logical response to charge of subverting the democratic process.
