George W has a lot say about "democracy" and the way the US should export it to other countries:

President Bush Discusses Freedom in Iraq and Middle East
Remarks by the President at the 20th Anniversary of the National Endowment for Democracy
United States Chamber of Commerce
President Bush Discusses Freedom in Iraq and Middle East

There are somethings that are better left covered for the security of the people in that democracy.
...and who decides what these "somethings" are? Corruption and repression thrive in dark secret places where there is no transparent accountability.
