4. FYI-all the paragraphs in the report starting with (S/NF) are "classified"

(U) It's interesting to read the report and note which paragraphs are secret and what unclassified.

5. So what about whoever blew a CIA operative's cover

Was there a similar memo that exuded such urgency?

[City Lights]

8. I wondered the same thing, Gman.

It looks like the double standards are reaching fever pitch.

[Cocoa]

6. now I wonder if they're pushing the story

This almost reads like an advertisement for the story. "Whatever you do, do NOT go to FOX NEWS and read this explosive story! Repeat, do NOT go to FOX NEWS!"

Military Personnel: Don't Read This!
How a Pentagon email sought to contain the prison abuse scandal

It's not exactly every day that the Pentagon warns military personnel to stay away from Fox News. But that's exactly what some hopeful soul at the Department of Defense instructed, in a memo intended to forbid Pentagon staff reading a copy of the Taguba report detailing abuse of detainees at prisons in Iraq that had been posted at the Fox News web site.

15. whatever you do, do NOT look at the pink elephant behind you!

16. Whats an ISD customer? Orwellian...

[Th1onein]

17. I don't get it.

18. The only way to get the attention of the government is to leak to media

Anyone who wants to blow the whistle has to blow it in several places at the same time. Simply reporting to higher up government officials only ensures a cover up because they learn what needs to be covered up.

19. Yeah but isn't this a pink elephant?

Don't think about the pink elephant.

Isn't the first thing anyone would do is ask someone else not in the Pentagon to look at it and have them tell them what it says?

Or do they really think that the good little soldierbot employees always do whatever they are told even if it means just reading public information?
WTF?
