why were these classified “top secret” in the first place.

First, much of the information probably is, at best, confidential, and of no continuing military value, but the whole composit of data compiled into an intelligence estimate gets marked at the highest classification of the whole document.

I also have a problem with all the folks on here. It is one thing to publish an article revealing present strategy or upcoming military operations or tactical assessments.

It is quite another to publish information showing conclusively that we are on the wrong track, and that their might not be a right track. We have the right to hold our government accountable to fight just wars in a manner that leads to a desired outcome. It is our blood and treasure.
