    Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) criticized the use of non-secure systems, warning that adversaries like Russia and China could exploit it.

    The singular problem with Americans doing a holocaust abroad is that another country might find out about it in advance.

    I mean, just think for a minute. What if we wanted to bomb a Russian orphanage or a Chinese university? They could take advantage of our data insecurity to thwart us!

    Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) condemned the administration’s mishandling of classified information, saying it endangers national security.

    We’re carpet bombing people on the other side of the fucking planet. This is so far outside the scope of “national security”.

    Absolute Ghoul Nation.
