Late last week, after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton informed the White House of the likely fall-out from the WikiLeaks cable dump, the White House came back with a question: "What's our corrective action?"
Clinton's undersecretary for management, Patrick Kennedy, had a simple suggestion: pull the plug on SIPRNet, the classified DoD network that PFC Bradley Manning reportedly used to download the cables from State's inhouse classified database. "The White House said do it," says a senior administration official.
The publication by WikiLeaks of more than 250,000 diplomatic cables, many of them classified, is forcing an administration-wide intelligence retrenchment as agencies reconsider how to balance the need to share with the need to know...
Post 9.11 the imperative from Congress and the White House was to break down the "stovepipes" that prevented sharing across the so-called intelligence community--the sprawling collection of intelligence offices in more than a dozen different agencies across the U.S. government and around the world.
At State, they created the "Net-Centric Diplomacy" database or NCD, where State stored classified information up to the top secret level. Agencies across government had access to that database through their own secure networks. In DoD's case the network, created in 1995, was called the Secure Internet Protocol Router Network, or SIPRNet.

OK, thanks for your input on this stuff!
State Pulls the Plug On SIPRNet (2010 Time article on Wikileaks)
Thanks, JJ.
Not that many, I'm afraid.
I just streamed segments from Fox, CBS, and NBC about the 22 Top Secret emails. Fox had Judge Napolitano explain that what's already publicly known proves that Mrs. Clinton committed Felonies.
But CBS and NBC were very dismissive about them claiming they don't prove anything. ABC, CNN, NYT, WP, etc. won't put much importance on the felonies either.
Dan Abrams is not talking about: just forwarding an email or simple cut and paste, correct?
You cannot simply cut and paste from two separate systems, especially with the protocols in place to inhibit such actions.
Meanwhile Dan, a Lawyer I assume, is talking lawyer talk.
I watched NBC tonight. Lester Holt interviewed Hillary.
He asked her two questions on the emails.
1. Something about the email situation “hanging over her head” as an election concern.
2. Something about “Republicans coming at” her about it.
But liberal bias is JUST OUR IMAGINATION!
She wasn’t challenged on putting national security at risk, and doing so secretly, since the server was a secret.
She wasn’t even challenged when she told Holt that she’s never changed what she’s said about her emails.
I also happened to catch on the Today Show,= this morning, Andrea Mitchell saying that HRC had even won over a “Trump voter” at an event the night before. Then there’s video of the guy saying something like, “You’ve convinced me. I’m going to vote for you,” and Hillary cheers.
Now if it had been a supposed Dem at a GOP event saying he was now convinced to vote GOP, do you believe Andrea/NBC would even select such footage? Or wouldn’t say, “a man who claims to have been a Democrat”?
No, it's not necessary. A SCIF is for Sensitive Compartmented Information, which not on the SIPRNet.
The DoD NIPRNet (.mil) is equivalent to State's OpenNet (.state.gov). The DoD SIPRNet (.smil.mil) is equivalent to State's ClassNet (.state.sgov.gov). The SIPRNet and ClassNet can reach each other.
State has no equivalent to JWICS, so they use that for TS/SCI.
He’s taking a “broader” view of the case, repeating many of the things HRC & the left have said over the months. Basically she used poor judgment, perhaps broke some rules, but didn’t intentionally violate the law, so her supposed “intentions” will exonerate her, despite the frenzied, partisan political climate surrounding her case that’s been created by Republicans.
On the particulars of her case, he takes the approach that the classification system is murky, and never approaches the fact that there are secure and non-secure systems that don’t communicate.
Instead he adopts the picture created by Clinton that classified and non-classified documents are always hopelessly mixed together, and you just have to give your best judgment all the time on which is which, and differences of opinion will occur.
bump
I agree...
now they’ve planted Gorelick in this admin too.
Wonder if any of these cables had info on our human assets in China... the breaking was in March 2010 and wasn’t that the year we lost our Chinese assets?
