From the article:

The antiwar crowd is going to have to argue that the information somehow wasn't dangerous in the hands of Saddam Hussein, but was dangerous posted on the Internet. It doesn't work. It can't be both no threat to America and yet also somehow a threat to America once it's in the hands of Iran. Game, set, and match.

I don't care about the anti-war crowd. This was freaking retarded. This was dangerous. Hussein was close to building a nuke, and we had the bright idea of putting all his research on the internet for Osama and Iran to download to help them along.

While we can cheer that Iraq was dangerous, we just made the world more dangerous. It pisses me off that we didn't think that maybe advanced nuclear diagrams on the internet might not be so hot of an idea.

The proper thing to do would have been to shown them to the Senate Intelligence Committee under a closed briefing, allowed no copies, just a briefing, and have the President announce it to the nation. You don't put it on the internet.
