Jeh Johnson is the lawyer for the US department of defence. He says that there are continuous meetings held on whether the national security and military operations can be more transparent.
He says that in June 2012 the US government made public the fact that they are engaged in conflict in Yemen and Somalia with Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda affiliated targets. He concludes by stating that in conjunction with the interests of national security the US government strives to be as transparent as they can.
