Government should definitely be allowed to keep secrets. In fact, some documents exposed by Wikileaks caused a disquieting atmosphere among countries all over the world. There are three reasons why government should not be prohibited from keeping secrets.

First of all, government’s keeping secrets would contribute to maintaining security for a citizen. Spillage of the information of soldier working to keep us safe would help opponents to know national maneuvers. It is also dangerous enough for terrorists to get our week points.

Secondly, it could spread panic to the nations. For example, in a famous movie, “Independence Day”, the American president asserted our planet to be saved while not sure the survival chance of humans. Avoiding telling truth played an important role in maintaining public disorder.

Finally, it would help to strengthen trust among countries. Top secrets are so sensitive that statesmen must deal with information carefully. No one could open negotiations with the countries publicizing what happened there to mass media multiple times.

Therefore, it can be said that there are many disadvantages in revealing secrets to the nations. For that reason, government should be permitted to keep secrets.
