Given all the down-votes, seems I am a sucker to give them the benefit of the doubt and not join the crowds calling for heads on plates. How dare I attempt to have faith in humanity.
- toss1 9y agoSo, if I make a mistake that puts you and your family on a hit list of a murderous dictatorship, you'd be cool with it?
- alex_hitchins 9y agoOf course not. But having someone sacked won't reverse the mistake or prevent this happening again. It was a terrible, terrible mistake, but the absence of malice here should be considered.
- toss1 9y agoAbsence of malice is nice, but what should be considered more highly is the absence of care. Remember, this error probably will get people killed. A rapid & public sacking may not reverse the error, but will have at least some preventative effect -- some people learn from the mistakes of others. Of course this should not be the only step, and they should also add processes & procedures to help make it more difficult for this error to get through again (default to no names for sources?, second set of eyes asking for every source?)
