The same point I was making about private life in the private sphere applies to diplomacy. Woodrow Wilson’s dream of open covenants, openly arrived at, was a foolish dream.

There’s a difference between private diplomacy and systemic government corruption hidden by unjustified confidentiality.

There are real examples here of government corruption. Instead of trying to deflect the conversation with vague hand-waving, why not talk about the corruption?
