Video: Scare Force One pics to remain classified
Hot Air ^ | 05/05/09 | Free America

* 3-hour trip on Air Force One: $300,000 * Military jet escort: $30,000 * Pictures generated from panicking the largest American city: Classified.

The White House has decided to keep the pictures from the Scare Force One classified, which given the circumstances, seems like an odd decision:

Publicity stunt (possibly for a video for the 100 days broadcast or who know what, July 4th, relection campaigns, ad campaigns for Obamacare, whatever), it’s been shelved because of the blowback.

Obama’s chickens came home to roost.

Wanna bet those photos will magically re-appear either close to an election or in a Moslem calendar sometime down the road? Obama is ruining America fast and furious!

Horrible, and quite possibly illegal, use of the military classification system. You aren't allowed to mark something secret just to hide a screw-up.

I still want to know who was on that plane. It is far more likely a joy ride for campaign contributors (think Lincoln Bedroom times 100) to let them see New York at a low altitude rather than an attempt to film Air Force 1 against the New York skyline.

Michelle Obama probably was on that joy ride so she could get a good look at where she would be speaking tonight.

Most transparent administration ever, and the most ethical congress ever. Good job America!

The pictures will be used in the upcoming next handy Islamic WTC-Attack calendar.
The previous one predicted the atrocity attacks in September 2001 --one year in advance
so as to warn Moslems and UN personnel to leave the area.

“Pictures generated from panicking the largest American city: Classified.” = the mission did not include a photo-op; there are no pictures

Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin need to come down on this hard. The elected ones won’t say a thing.

>>>>>> Horrible, and quite possibly illegal, use of the military classification system. <<<<<<<

It’s literally impossible to characterize photos or films of AF1 as classified.

AF1 is filmed and photographed every single time it lands or departs from any airfield, anywhere in the world.

And let’s not forget that ***all*** classification authority derives directly from the President. There is no higher or alternate authority.

He can literally declassify ANYTHING at the snap of his fingers.

“That X is now declassified,” and so it is.

My military days of dealing with classified information are long behind me, but I recall that classifying something because it might be embarrassing to a superior was illegal.

When we find out who was on this plane, this story will “get out of hand.” I bet the Republicans already know who was on that trip and it will be “leaked out” closer to election day.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Promising "a new era of openness in our country," President Obama signed executive orders Wednesday relating to ethics guidelines for staff members of his administration. "Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency," Obama said.In his first full day in office...

Sound familiar?

IMO, it did and there are. It's just that the photo-op was for those inside the plane and the pictures were taken there, not from the outside.

I did wonder how they intended to take photos from what appeared to be a Falcon at the 7 o’clock position...not a lot of good viz out the front.
