Hi again Andreana,

Information that is classified means that it isn't necessarily available or open to the general public. It is an overall name for information that has a certain classification which can be for example: restricted/secret/top secret depending on its content. It therefore follows that confidential is a type of classification.

Hi Jamie (K),

Well, that's one way of putting it! I'm reminded more and more of that musical Annie Get your Gun and the hit song - Anything you can do, I can do better. Naturally it's an American musical.
