IF? IF? Suppose you were an Afghan confidential informant. Then suppose some fool gave you up to the Al-qaeda. Would you still think this was just “nothing more than drivel being classified out of habit,”or that “nothing...[was] lost or harmed.” (except maybe your life,and your family’s lives)
Your being sarcastic and abusive doesn’t change any reality.
