That was a difficult post to work through; I'm having trouble with formatting as well. There's got to be a simpler way.
Yes, it's messy. Hopefully, I cleaned out most of the cruft.
Quote:Anyway, what do you see is different between someone sending an email with unmarked classified information to an SoS personal email address on: the State Dept's personal email server; third-party account like Hotmail; or the SoS private server?
All of those things have happen with at least 6 SoS, including the current one. Should they all go to jail? If not, please explain the difference.
That's of course a legitimate question so here goes:
Actually, I'm easy to please. I'm fine with 2 options.
1. The State department can send me copies of the emails. They can redact portions which were originally classified or got that way ex post facto that reside or have resided on secured platforms and:
2. I should get un redacted copies of any email from any SoS what wound up on an insecure location. That fixes the problem of whether somebody was incompetent or had /has an ego problem.
Only if you also insist in getting all the emails of every government worker that used a 3rd party email service (e.g., Hotmail) or hacked government system. You'll have to go through what needs to be classified, but there's little doubt its there (if you actually read the IG report, you would know this).
Imagine what you would learn about 9/11, the role of the Saudis, Iraq WMD, the invasion, bin Laden at Tora Bora, ect., ect from just Colin Powell's and Condi Rice's emails!
I'd might suggest with such knowledge you would soon be found 6 feet under the ground. However, you would first be so far buried under billions of emails, you would never be found.

1. Any government employee current or past needs to go to jail for compromising classified information due to ignoring standard protocols.

Where have I heard before that "we had to burn the village to save it"???
