I believe that there is a time and a place for transparency in government, but there are other times when transparency is a hindrance to effective governance. However, I am more in favor of transparency when it comes to bureaucratic cogs like these folks making decisions. I think shining a light on this process is a good thing so long as we make sure people understand this is how these processes tend to go. This is a matter of civil rights and liberties, but by discussing it only in the context of Gates and such it turns it into more of a partisan discussion.

I didn't discuss it in the context of anything. I simply asked how my transparency friends feel about these 17 omissions. 

How do you determine the time and place for transparency? Seems like quite a large responsibility. 

I will give you credit for addressing the matter; while many transparency folks seem to have misplaced their keyboards.

But just so we're clear: I have no issue with the FBI masking what they felt they should. Of course I'm not as "nuanced" as many around here.
