Do you trust this man?

Who governs the government? I can see the point in not wanting to put officers of MI5 or MI6 at risk, or compromise delicate operations, but I do not trust the government or judges to decide what should be secret and what should not. If we could be sure that judges and the governments were always acting in the public interest and for national security, then there would be no problem.

It is clearly a dilemma: and can we trust our security services to judge whether what they are doing is in the national interest any more than we can trust the government and judges?
