former cnn reporter and director of the school of the media public affairs told me that the aim is to in news media completely. if used for propaganda purposes, like to avoid contact with journalists, this is a mixed result. part of the problem reporters have is calling someone to ask a routine question and expect a routine answer and it turns out the information is classified. there seems to be no good reason for it. the obama administration has taken credit for posting on the new community website -- previously secret documents explaining the nsa surveillance program. but it only did so after the revelation in documents released by edward snowden. the administration has not acted on a congressionally authorized board which recommended many specific steps to carry out the president's professed aim which would free government officials to discuss more public business with the press. the fifth issue is the failure to appear before the freedom of information act office. this was a directive issued on the president's for day in office to improve government responsiveness of foia requests

. >> the media person, don, why do you think so little is known about public defenders. i don't know if you know the history in california, we have had public defenders office established in 1914, the first woman attorney. she had to sue to become a lawyer in california. she became a defense attorney and spent 20 years advocating for it and it finally passed in 1920. how do public defenders contribute to their anonymity. >> i'm not surprised it was a woman. but i think that much like me, the population that is served by public defender lawyers is so invisible without a lot of political power, but you add to that, public defenders, i'm going to grossly generalized, so here i go, as a group, wrap, i think in a zelous representation, they tend to be not as open to the public and media. it's very hard to trust that somebody will represent your story well. i really encourage you to do what karen does which is let people see what you do. trust them to tell the story because they will see it. they see it in this film which every time i see it i think it doesn't go far enough, i

publicizing these hostage takings. their theory being the more you talk about it in the media, the more you publicize it, the more it potentially jeopardizes the chance to be able to secure their freedom. the natural question you ask is why at this point did they decide to break the silence. let's be clear. these are the families themselves that we know made the decision to tell the world about the fact that their children are being held in syria. this is all speculation at this point, but they did it presumably because they felt they had nothing to lose and they were perhaps losing hope and they felt that this point it is a good strategy to follow. they wanted people to know about it. they wanted to give perhaps the maximum potential to secure their release, and the only way to do that is really to get the resources and get people mobilized and knowing about it. we have found out names in the past of french hostages and it has led to a lot of high mobilization campaigns to secure their release. and we have seen hostages released. a family that was taken in cameroon in february ended up being released. there have been good outc

the point you made about this big public media disclosure, we are trying to walk a fine balance betweenthe nation secure and having pope francis parent si a-- transpare. the general public doesn't necessarily want or need to know every single thing that goes into keeping him safe. at the same time, the question comes where is that line and i think right now we're trying to figure that out. >> somebody who sort of -- i don't imagine this would be a voting issue, right? and there is this sort of tension. you feel it with some lawmakers, particularly republicans who on one hand are saying the 9/11 plot, hamburg, germany, was used. so there is a component of this that says surveillance of western jueurope is important. >> you'll get a lot of latitude from the american public when it comes to going after al qaeda or things that people think are real threats to their lives. i don't think they think angela merkel's cell phone is a real threat to their lives. they just don't get the sense that those kinds of things -- they're not going to give you the latitude on those kinds of things. >> casey
