Should Congress, Senate and the President have secrets from the American Citizens??

Question

I read this quote in a story about Sen Orrin Hatch:

"There comes a point where the White House has to say, 'Hey, look there are certain confidential things in the White House that we're not going to share with Congress, just like there are certain confidential things in Congress that we're not going to share with the White House,'" Hatch, R-Utah, said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

So my question is this:

With the exception of classified information, do any of the Branches of American Government have the right to withhold any information from each other or the American Citizens?
If any American government official(s) (OGs) withhold any important information, should the American Citizens then be held responsible in the aftermath which might occur due to such information?

For example, if a GO(say Bush) lobbys for illegal alien amnesty, then it is found in a decade that major businesses backed him for this reason, should The People be required to give compensation to Mexico(ans)?

Answer 1

You asked a few questions, so I am going to answer the main question, no the government should not keep secrets from the people.
As Lincoln said a government from the people with the people for the people.
Well a lot has changed since he said that, black ops, secret experiments on public with spreading diseases. That is just what was leaked or found out in some spying way by conspiracy minded people on the net web sites.

Answer 2

Its in your constituition to protect you and America from harmful aliens and dangerous activity.

Answer 3

I am willing to bet most Americans don't even know who their congress misrepresentatives are.
