Assertions the above passage makes (please correct if I&#x27;ve misconstrued):<p>1. People don&#x27;t have a right to examine the activities of their government<p>2. People don&#x27;t have a right to speak freely about what <i>has</i> been made public<p>3. People must trust auditors who work in secret<p>4. Humble yourself so you can never declare right from wrong (and therefore only believe whoever is in power)<p>I guess the comment could be considered even-handed, just in a narrow artificial context that basically guarantees a specific conclusion. That context seems similar to how someone would think if they officially handled classified information, a role which would clearly make them a fundamentalist.
