Barlow said that the group believes
that it is important to have public-oriented journalism
that is responsible and well-funded, and

especially when it might put the lives of people
working in classified areas at risk, but added
that the group also believes that
“there is an awful lot of activity going on inside these institutions
that is secret and protected from public view,
and really needs to be available
to the oversight of the people
in whose name it is being conducted.”
