Sub headline in the link says investigation "cleared" Waltz. When of course, what actually happened is that the investigation showed how extremely reckless negligent and careless Waltz was. I wish the guardian was more explicit about how nonsense this government propaganda is about this incident.
- toast0 2y agoHow about that nobody else questioned who the new guy was?
- outer_web 2y agoHe was one of many initials present at the beginning of the chat, no?

- s3p 2y agoNo. To the others he would have appeared as a random number.
- sudahtigabulan 2y agoNo, it said just "19 members". Nobody would notice him unless they went to the group settings, or he spoke up. https://archive.is/YmtqQ/bb4da26bd1dd20371c772ed26070f06635824141.avif https://archive.is/YmtqQ/bb4da26bd1dd20371c772ed26070f066358... Signal just released a change that lists all the members in the chat itself. You can guess why ;-) https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/commit/da3fc408f https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/commit/da3fc408f

- maxerickson 2y agoDoesn't know how the phone works -- careless. Clicks the button without knowing what impact it will have on a device he uses for national security communication -- reckless. Uses a personal device -- careless and reckless.
- stavros 2y agoIn the way a pilot might misclick one time on a popup and crash a plane, yes. Except that never happens, because pilots know better than to use systems where a single misclick can mean a crash, which is much more than we can say about the top tiers of the US government.

- outer_web 2y agoLet's not condemn the top tiers of the US government based on the top tiers of the current administration.
- immibis 2y agoEastern Air Lines flight 401 crashed because the pilot accidentally changed the autopilot setting while diagnosing a separate problem. Of course, the more fundamental reason was that he wasn't looking at where the aeroplane was going, not even periodically.
- shakna 2y agoAnd as a result, "crew resource training" is now mandatory for pilots, to try and prevent it happening again in the future.
- grotorea 2y agoI'm not sure if I understood the details from the article, but there was also a previous mistake where Waltz added Goldberg's number as a contact number for Hughes. This was just iPhone doing its thing and syncing contacts I guess?
- lokar 2y agoHe was “cleared” of what mattered to Trump, being disloyal.
- NoTeslaThrow 2y ago> the investigation showed how extremely reckless negligent and careless Waltz was This is just a case where there's an individual to blame. We're looking back at at least eighty years of negligence and recklessness. Basically every conflict we've been in indicates clearly we don't have the competence nor the honesty that a reasonable human would find sufficient to manage such a destructive entity.
- graemep 2y ago> Sub headline in the link says investigation "cleared" Waltz. When of course, what actually happened is that the investigation showed how extremely reckless negligent and careless Waltz was. That sounds like cleared to the standards expected of politicians.
- foldr 2y agoNo, this is not the standard expected of politicians. This is an unusual — probably even unprecedented — level of recklessness and carelessness for a National Security Advisor. We can expect the person advising the President on national security not to accidentally leak classified information to a journalist via an unsecured communication channel. That expectation is routinely complied with.
- mannykannot 2y agoWhile I thoroughly dislike self-serving bullshit, this is at least about as blatant a case of self-serving bullshit as it gets.
