The release of classified information is a criminal act. Hacking into classified systems to steal information is a criminal act. Publishing information received through "sources" is not a criminal act. New York Times v. Pentagon Papers established that principal clearly. For the U.S. to act and think otherwise on this matter is a clear violation of the First Amendment Freedom of the Press. To categorize those rights by country of origin is a clearly disingenous smokescreen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-38459491386250613292010-12-13T17:07:28.311-05:002010-12-13T17:07:28.311-05:00You seem to imply that one get a better security w...You seem to imply that one get a better security with higher secrecy. A popular myth conveniently used by various bureaucracies around the world for their own benefits. In reality the<br />the relationship is exactly the opposite, as discovered by French mathematician with German sounding Russian last name back in 1883:<br /><br />https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Kerckhoffs%27_principle<br /><br />More secrecy results in less security. That's why you have only one pin code in your bank and one key from your home, not twenty.<br /><br />The reason things got leaked are exactly due to that principle: security through obscurity is no security at all: as more people know - more chances it got leaked.<br />Have no doubt that those competent investigators are aware of it.Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300296094299796622noreply@blogger.com
