What Are They Hiding?

The U.S.’s decisions regarding the online casinos gambling industry and their compensation negotiations are highly questionable, especially in light of the fact that the U.S. will not disclose any of the details of the negotiated agreement. Despite request from journalists that the U.S. Trade Representatives and the U.S. government release the negotiated compensation agreement with the European Unions, the U.S. government has denied journalist the right on the grounds that it the document is classified to protect national security.

National security… we’re still talking about the online casinos compensation negotiations right? Journalist Ed Brayton had the same confusion about why the U.S. refuses to release the details on the EU compensation deal. Brayton pursued the issue to the point of even filing a Freedom of Information Act request – which was denied on the grounds that the compensation deal is classified.

There is no doubt that the online casinos ban in the U.S. is highly controversial and Brayton is certainly one of the many journalists who feel that the U.S. government is restricting the personal freedoms of Americans by enforcing the internet gambling ban. And as for the fact that U.S. citizens are not allowed to even know how much the ban is going to cost the country, well Brayton had some choice words: : "Yes, the United States government is claiming that its attempt to restrict Americans from gambling online is so important that their efforts are a matter of national security. And that whatever under-the-table deals they make that might cost taxpayers billions of dollars can be classified and hidden from public scrutiny as if they were nuclear launch codes.”

Brayton continued, "Americans, according to this administration, have no right to know how many billions of our tax dollars they've spent with no legislative authorization whatsoever in order to buy the cooperation of other nations and allow them to continue to violate the rights of American adults by preventing them from gambling in the privacy of their own home." As the U.S. gets closer and closer to altering gambling commitments in GATS, online casinos gamblers and taxpayers in the U.S. are wondering if the government is focused on putting taxpayer dollars in the right places considering the cost of the war and the skyrocketing foreclosure rate in the U.S.
