  1. On the world stage, the US is so big it doesn't need the special advantages it's the purpose of secrecy to secure. The US could set an interesting example. Conceptually, there should be an advantage, for instance in having a secret, undercover information source within an organization that warrants scrutiny for some reason. But I've not seen that advantage quantified, especially taking into consideration the cost of the maintenance side of secrecy: keeping the secrets from those who shouldn't know while revealing them to those who should know; determining who should know; keeping track of who knows; monitoring the security of archived secrets; creating and enforcing the rules of this knowledge; dare I say, "etcetera".
