Security vs. transparency

On Monday, March 31 at 7:30pm ET:

Information you're entitled to is kept secret by the U.S. government. On Monday’s episode of The Stream, meet Ryan Shapiro, the man called a "superhero" for his ability to get his hands on what they don't want you to see. But is the government justified in keeping information hidden from the public in the name of national security?

On this episode of The Stream, we'll speak to:
