The Big Dig (FBI Searches for Buried Documents of Potentially Classified Information)

I saw that, but from some nut writing ramblings in a jail cell to actually finding something on the outside - all I see is insinuation and a journalist's step too far.

When I hear a quote "we dug at x and found Y" - from a real source - I'll change my position.

[lelio]

People were not allowed to take a newspaper out the door, much less classified stuff.
How do you enforce that today when you could bring in something like an Apple iTunes and use it as a data storage device? I suppose you could try and stop those devices from coming in.
What about telecomuters? Didn't John Duetsch have a laptop full of sensitive information? What about offshore projects for the Pentagon? How safe is that information?

[PhiKapMom]

You and me both! The damage he caused I think we will be seeing for years to come. Security to him meant nothing! Just more secrets to sell to the Chinese or whoever was the highest bidder IMHO!

I don't see how anyone from his Administration can sleep unless they are as corrupt as the Clintons including former SecDef Cohen who I used to respect!

[TruthNtegrity]

Oh, the sad stories I could tell you of what Clinton's laxness on security meant.

I'll give just one.

I was at a briefing for a follow-on system to the one I had worked on for 8 years. Up came a slide on the screen that was not only Top Secret, the darn thing was code-worded. I immediately made my way to the Admiral and his "science advisor" who were in the center of the auditorium.

That slide was quickly taken down.

But the same was true of the next screen. At that point, the Admiral stopped the briefing and announced that all slides would be reviewed before continuing.

Is this the end? No. All the programmers at the contractor who won this contract away from the development contractor were allowed to work on the software in Unclas mode. Only when the system went operational was the security level raised, and by then, the programmers and the personnal at that company now had the appropriate clearances. Trust me when I tell you that there were algorithms and other parts of the software that required a TS clearance.

I can't tell you how much I hate Clinton. Words fail me.

ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

"Regan was spared the death penalty."

Sounds like there are grounds to retry the stinking traitor. Firing squad would be too quick, IMO.

[Bigg Red]

Your story is truly frightening.

Clinton and his hires had two things in common: a disdain for the primacy of this nation and a penchant for corruption for personal gain.

I share your loathing of that so-called man.

[Ann Archy]

I've never hated two people MORE than Bil and Hillary.....unless it was the idiots who supported them. They are very bad for our country.

[Reactionary]

Notice that they don't mention that he didn't supply *China* with documents concerning military satellites or nuclear weapons.
