re: #79 erik_t

I think you are mistaken. Manning had at least Secret clearance, and so access to SIPRNET (in general) would have been wholly within usage guidelines.

Most SIPR access requires more than just secret clearance, and it still operates on a “Need to know.”

Technically, I could have SIPR access right now, but I don’t need it as part of my job, so I don’t have an account.
