re: #266 McSpiff

Well, it is and isn’t. My employer does a pretty damn good job with our secret material, but given a few hours most people would be able to sneak a few docs out. 250k on a thumb drive or CD? Probably not. Ultimately there was an issue with this guy having his clearance and access to these systems in general. Everything I’ve read makes him sound like “the bullied loner type”, aka a guy with something to prove.

McSpiff,

I’m really not all up to speed on this topic, but Manning didn’t hack at anything.

If there were no dvd/cd burners there is nothing that I have seen that would indicate that this leak would have occurred.

Please set me straight if I missed something.
