*8. It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public.

Should political leaders hold back information from public? In my terms, we can’t answer this question as “right” or ”wrong” since it is a complexity one. Intelligent leader should take different measures to deal with different types of information, whether withholding or not.

To be responsible for its people, political leaders should publish some basic information, such as financial budget and elation process. Since people pay the tax to the government as obligation, they also attain the right to know how their money is used by government. A transparent financial budget may not only prevent officers from corruption but also increase people’s credibility toward the management of current government and incite their passion to pay the tax.
In like manner, people also want equitable elation process through which they can select the most competent person of their mind to lead them toward the better future. If it were not, the foundation of stability upon which our society is constructed will be shaken and result in uproar.
Take Watergate affair as an example. In retrospect, the scandal seriously tarnished public’s image toward the elation process of current government and sparked a renewed call for changes in campaign financing.

Additionally, some information closely relating to public safety mustn’t be held back, otherwise it may incite panic among society and finally fall into a endanger situation. When SARS broke out in Guangdong province of china, the government leaders tried to withhold information from public in order not to cause panic among its people. However, the following situation ran contrary to their speculation. Due to the government withholding information of this disease when it broke out, the gossip about it fly in the sky, some even consider it as plague, making the panic atmosphere permeate society. Then as the result of people’s unwitting of this deadly disease, there is no activity token to prevent it and finally lead the disease soon spread whole country. As a consequence, Chinese government paid heavy price for their withholding important information.

hence, providing the public with the opportunity to know some basic information about government affairs will keep the society stable and contribute to the effects of government’ management as well.

Although, political leaders or government should tell citizens some basic information which they need and concern, as the above stated, some confidential ones, especially those concerning to the national security must be held back. We should also clearly know that information published by our government or political leaders may not only be gotten by us but also enemies or some gangster. If so, it may lead to perilous situation. Consider if military information of a country is disclosed to public, it is most likely that the country will lose the battle when the war breaks out. We can hardly imagine the American president publish their military arrangement and plan of countering terrorists. Therefore in some circumstance, it is necessary and desirable for political leaders should withhold some information from public for the sake of the society’s stable and nation’s security.

In sum, a wise political leader should have ability to judge whether to withhold information in different circumstance aimed at keeping the country stable and work well.

首先我要说，lz写的还是非常思路清晰的，有正有反，很好。论点清晰是Issue考试的宗旨，相对而言，语法是不重要的。但是我看到了一些，就顺手改了。请你别介意啊。对我自己也是一次学习和检验。

括号内提出一些不同意见，供参考啊。

我建议结尾，对于米国人的高呼民主、信息公开、舆论监督的政治倾向，还是要表明观点是 大多数与公众有关的信息应该公开，而少数关乎国家安全的信息不应公开。题目中的often是要反对的。
