Best Answer

After the Kennedy assassination, secrecy within the executive branch in the US government reached new highs. For example, in 1968, during hearings on the Tonkin Gulf incident, Secretary of Defense McNamara revealed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the government had now achieved classifications that were higher than Top Secret. This was in Executive Order 10501. As late as 1971, General Maxwell Taylor was asked about the US citizens right "to know", he responded that "I don't believe in that as a general principle....A citizen should know those things he needs to know...".
