Why do governments declassify documents?

240 viewsOther

Especially when it will be received negatively by the public. What’s the point? Why do they willingly allow themselves to be crucified in the media and potentially give intel to their enemies of what they’re up to?

” allow themselves to be crucified in the media”

Basically everything a government does meets this description if the country has anything remotely resembling free press. Kind of a “must be Tuesday” situation.

“ive intel to their enemies of what they’re up to”

It would be extremely rare for anything relevant to current operations to be declassified.
