I don't think anyone is suggesting information on military operations should be made public before the fact. But we are saying that programs which directly affect us, like broad domestic surveillance programs, must be acknowledged openly. Currently we have no way of even deciding whether or not they're legitimate because they refuse to give up all the facts.

This is called a 'fait accompli'. it's a distraction technique employed to keep someone from arguing an issue.

Spying on phone calls/metadata has nothing to do with announcing raids against legitimate terrorists.
