Yes. So you see it as I do. The mechanisms governing classification of documents, the computer systems that they are being stored in, the process of granting various users access to that data, and the physical security and set up of those systems is very likely completely and totally hosed due to the enormous bureaucracy associated with managing this.
You sound like you get it… not that others don’t, but I just don’t think that is apparent to some people that that might very well be the root of the problem.
I mean...I cannot TELL you (but I imagine that you know...or have experienced) how many secret/noforn briefs I have been in that showed up on CNN the next day. SECRET/NOFORN is the standard classification that all the intel weenies use...and most of the time...it should certainly be secret/relcan...or secret/relnato...
WHO in their right mind puts this stuff at secret?
