You miscontrue my meaning. Military secrets should be secret - no leaks. But to have one spokeman say one thing and another spokesman say another makes the government look like the Keystone Cops. If it gets out in the news that Iraq is behind the anthrax attacks, then so be it. Iraq is already preparing for our bombs...
My position is that any information that aids or abets our enemies should only be privy to those with a neeed to know. I don't need to know how the anthrax was weaponized, all I need to know is how best to protect me and my family from it.
If its in our interest to hold back information, whether its military or intel, then I support it.
A lot of handwringing and calling for peoples heads have occurred in the last month and personally I see no reason for it. The fog of the first bio-attack on America is lifting and what I see is only 3 casualties, God bless them, and a lot of anthrax exposure that never reached infection. Somebody is doing their job and doing it better each day.
