“Release of this information to the press I believe amounts to espionage.”
This is what William Tecumseh Sherman had to say about the matter:
“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as little more than spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting press dispatches from Hell before breakfast.”
‘’Tis getting close to that for the opposition party media.
too bad Sherman didn’t run for President—he would have been great
