re: #190 Mars Needs Neocons

Mars, I will tell you why I think it was a “right-winger”.

The Threat Assessment is UNCLAS/FOUO. Within DHS and the USG, UNCLAS/FOUO information is tightly controlled. UNCLAS/FOUO information is a sub-category of information called Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU). There are other types of SBU info, SSI, PCII, LE Sensitive…all tightly controlled at the federal level.

Post 9/11 there is/was a push to share information horizontally (multi-agency; ie state and local agencies). State and local agencies do not have the same information management IT system capabilities (SIRP/NIRP) that the feds do (Google the acronyms). In fact, they rely on unclassified off the shelf systems. So once the info gets to the locals and state LE agencies, it’s katy-bar-the-door.

Do you think there are more right-wingers in law enforcement than left-wingers? Where do veterans tend to migrate after the military? I should know, I’m one, although a fed.

So if the information is loosely controlled at the local and state agency level, and right-wingers tend to migrate to LE work (and they do), who do you think is more likely to have leaked the report? Who would be more upset at the report? Who has the ability to leak it? Libs are artists, web designers etc…:)….they don’t see SBU info.

Get my drift?
