Extremely mendacious in every way. I’ll say it again. Showtrial. Sick and cruel fabrications under cover of secrecy. Alas, Bradley is in their clutches and we are unable to help him.

National security is only endangered by the release of sensitive information regarding our military posture, such as, names and locations of intelligence sources; the makeup and location of weaponry; and, in wartime, the disclosure of military strategy. That some information is “classified” does not make it critical. Information is over classified out of bureaucratic sloth, or out of a desire to conceal embarrassing information or wrongdoing. To criminalize the disclosure of information which is merely “classified” is to violate the First Amendment.
