Open Secrets of American Policy
Although "open secrets" seems a self-contradictory phrase, it seems also to be good English. My usage is I think less subject to criticism than most. In this essay I will be dealing with some areas in American foreign policy in which the conventional wisdom is not only wrong, but can be disproved from open sources like newspapers. In some cases I will bring in from open sources things that will surprise the "usually well informed" people although I will criticize ignorance rather than error.
