Military investigates documents leak in Kandahar

Not cool.

Not cool at all.

Tent peg the supervisor in question.

What does tent peg mean?

Hammer him into the ground.

Those poor security practices happened on her watch and as the boss, that makes him responsible.

I like this bit;

"Schwab said the impact of WikiLeaks among allies and foreign governments has been huge and it will eventually lead to a drying up of information-sharing."

Good old Julian eh? Information sharing has/was key to operations in NATO. Not anymore thanks to Wiki-leaks.

Freedom of information is such a splendid thing.

Kind of reminds me of the day we spent pulling our offices apart looking for the missing Somolia documents.

If these things were distrubuted I'll guarantee there's still some copies floating around that'll surface at some point.

Now excuse me while I rip my filing cabinet apart to make sure I haven't got one of them.

Price of freedom... eternal vigilance.

That was the day I disobeyed an order. I told the DCO I wasn't going to take part in such foolishness. Did you feel the institutional facepalm when numb nut announced that?

Absolutely and the reality was nobody looked all that hard. We sat around drank coffee and laughed our asses off at the stupidity of the evolution, all the time wondering how a Naval Establishment 2223 miles from ground zero would end up with these documents.

Christ, glad I missed that.

Well, you guys certainly had your Decade of Darkness.

The Brits started theirs very recently. Chopping up brand new Nimrods that would upgrade the Brits operational recce/int in the middle of a war and now aircraft carriers with no fast jets? Never mind the chintzing of the wounded vet's disability and comp claims.

Wankers.

Waiting for the F35......now that’s good planning. Aircraft carriers with no aircraft. Indeed.

It was retarded. What blew me away was how many in the unit actually did thumb through files knowing full well there wouldn't be anything, but standing there and doing it anyway.



Or my damn near empty desk or the Sqn CP parked in the unit lines.
