The debate on disclosure continues

The debate on how much information pipeline companies should be expected to make public regarding their equipment and location of pipelines continues. The latest story is on seattlepi.com.

What's at issue in the public-records dispute is information such as the operating pressure, thickness of pipeline walls and the locations of features such as pressure regulators and the spots where pipes are tested for strength.
There are numerous articles on this topic lately. I've just listed a few here. Are there any other opinions that haven't already been stated?
