[hsbjdfdr] Antiterrorism by transparency

Terrorists seem to attack the US to call attention to what they feel are unjust American actions internationally.  Most Americans were in fact unaware of those actions before the terrorist attack called attention to them.

As perhaps confirmed by CableGate, the US government does do questionable actions overseas which it then conceals from the American public.

Would terrorism be decreased by a policy of greater governmental transparency?  The terrorists would no longer feel the need to fight against concealment and obfuscation.

We still have the problem that the press does not have incentive to be fair and balanced; they report the viewpoint which provides more advertising income, i.e., give the people what they want to see.

The radical idea is that terrorism fights against perversions of democracy, namely lack of freedom of information, lack of an unbiased press, while antiterrorism seeks to preserve those perversions.

Is terrorism only effective against democracies (loosely defined as, people have power, even informally as in choosing whether or not to overthrow a king)?
