its pretty clear, even from the journalist's quote, that some of the things they informed her about was not done legally (classified information). Now is overclassification a problem too, yes but that's bureaucracy.

>If might makes right, you've already accepted that the world belongs to China. So what, you should just keep your head in the sand instead? Not that I accept that claim anyways (quitter talk).
