Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), chairman of the Armed Service panel’s Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee and also a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said the briefing on the defense consequences of Snowden’s leaks was “very highly classified,” and therefore details couldn’t be discussed.

I always find this amusing, our enemies know what was leaked, our government knows what was leaked but we the citizens don’t have the right to know what was leaked even though our enemies already know what it was.

It’s like that movie scene— You can’t handle the truth!!!

LOL, you have just nailed it! Your comment should be published.

[driftdiver]

A lot of this message and what classified is meant to keep Americans from knowing.

[freedomfiter2]

It just shows who our government’s real enemies are.

[Dead Corpse]

Exactly so. I think this is awfully damn timely considering Snowden’s recent interview.

Agitprop can’t have us seeing him as anything other than a traitor and a bad person.

Notice, they don’t even need to provide details. Just let the seriousness of the charges carry the publics opinion.

Our job is to work, pay taxes and shut the eff up... Any idea what we're being 'protected' against? I sure as hell don't know.... not anymore - not like I use to...

Yup. You are nothing but an ambulatory wallet. Get back to work. Millions on welfare are depending on you.

More like our government saying "We can't handle you knowing the truth!"

Exactly.

And if you work for the government (military, DOD civilian, etc.) you are warned that you could be prosecuted for going on the web to look at info that is posted out there for everyone else to see because "it hasn't been declassified and your looking at it, or it hitting your computer constitutes a security violation".

[bert]

Yes but...... the fact it was in the Wall Street Journal and on Foxnews doesn’t mean I can tell you the details because it is secret, classified.

I find it amusing that in the beginning, Snowden was so low on the totem pole that he couldn’t possibly have had much clout to get any info above the night janitor’s schedule but now they say his leaks were “very highly classified.”
