Increadible that "but what about her emails" is still the only defense for sending military secrets over a non secure line to a journalist

- kopirgan 2y agoThat was, as I mentioned a mistake not intentional. If anything was intentional it was the so called journalist giving it publicity instead of doing his duty as a citizen to report it, delete it. Doing anything else is in my books treason. As a company employee that's what you're supposed to do if copied wrongly on an email. In fact that's the usual disclaimer that appears in many email footers.
- Aurornis 2y agoYour best argument is that journalists should look the other way when serious problems land in their lap? > As a company employee that's what you're supposed to do if copied wrongly on an email. In fact that's the usual disclaimer that appears in many email footers. This analogy would make sense if the messages went to an employee of the federal government, but they didn’t. It’s mind-bending that someone could be so bought into a bad situation that they try to shift blame to outside parties like this.
- kopirgan 2y agoJournalist has all rights to write about it and perhaps mention enough to prove he's not without proof but not reveal as much as he did. That's reckless. Repeat - revealing sensitive info even if you come across by accident or someone's mistake is a crime. Esp national ones not just corporate secrets.
- DangitBobby 2y agoWhat information did they reveal that was sensitive? The strikes had already taken place and so nothing they shared had any strategic value after the fact, other than to confirm the validity. To be clear it is utterly fucking insane (borderline "Russian bot" talking point) that you are entertaining this line of reasoning and I feel dirty for even engaging you.
- kopirgan 2y agoHa the "Russian talking point" weapon! Never failed. Anyone that doesnt repeat what the ecosystem wants is Russian agent. Kind of defeats the argument that content of messages will set back relations, affect future intelligence collection etc we kept hearing endlessly?! Make up your mind. It's either important or not.
- DangitBobby 2y agoIt's more like anyone who wants to dismantle the free press is a Russian agent in this case. Not really moved by your protest.
- DangitBobby 2y agoThe journalist who reported it committed treason. Wow, congratulations on having the most unhinged take I've ever seen on this site, well done.
