we really are in the Twilight Zone

The newly promoted #3 man at the CIA is an agent known only as "Dusty." The government may (or may not) release his actual name, based upon whether it would jeopardize CIA activities. Am I understanding this correctly? The taxpayers, the people of this country, aren't entitled to know who the third spook in charge at the CIA is? I don't know about you folks, but that strikes me as an extremely dangerous precedent. Next thing you know, American citizens will be able to be held without being charged, with no access to attorneys or the legal system, with no further explanation than "national security?" Oh, crap, wait a minute...
