Many times, info is classified with just this type of intent. Should one be found guilty of this, their classification authority should be TERMINATED, and they should be prosecuted for it. Many cases of unneeded classification exists, and material still classified long past viability, remains so. Why do so many grand poobahs think everything they're involved in should be classified, regardless of whether it's really eligible, or not??!!!

Since 2003, the Army has implemented some really pedantic restrictions on the release of unclassified information. Read the last paragraph on page 26 of the guide - it says that the Army Public Affairs Office gets to review the release of even unclassified information. What does APAO have to do with information security? Sounds like a form of pseudo-censorship to me... I doubt that the Army’s classification guide represent any loosening of rules.
