The better the information it has, the better democracy works. Silence and secrecy are never good for it.

Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves.

If information ends up in the wrong hands, the lives of people very often are immediately at risk.

There's a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don't have to think, you just have to get more information - gets very dangerous.

If we don't have an informed electorate we don't have a democracy. So I don't care how people get the information, as long as they get it. I'm just doing it my particular way and I feel lucky I can do it the way I want to do it.

It's a genuine dilemma for governments, deciding how much information to share in this threat-filled era.

Information can bring you choices and choices bring power - educate yourself about your options and choices. Never remain in the dark of ignorance.

If we live in a world where information drives what we do, the information we get becomes the most important thing. The person who chooses that information has power.

In order to win the war on terrorism, we have to win the war of information. Information is so very, very valuable. This is an important tool in gathering up information.

I think that the Information Age is great, but there's a downside to it obviously as well, and it's that false information can be perpetuated so quickly. And it's sad that so many people will believe it.
