Really, and just why do you think he opposes the release of these documents? Don't say intelligence information could be compromised. Read Mad_Tom_Rackham's post # 79 again. Your argument has been nullified. Article | Excerpt | Negroponte: "These documents have provided, and continue to provide, actionable intelligence to ongoing operations. . . . It would be ill-advised to release these materials without careful screening because the material includes sensitive and potentially harmful information." See above. What exactly don't you understand?What part of "redacting" don't you (and Negroponte) understand? Negroponte may be a "Cold War Hero", he may even be a juke box hero, but in this matter he's acting like a CIA/CYA a-hole.
