Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

This is a criminally stupid release. I am waiting for all the names of those who work undercover to be “accidentally” released in the near future.
I have absolutely no faith in this administration, save the faith that it is actively working to destroy this nation.
Lex, I love the tab. Buffoonery indeed!
This is an administration of buffoons. It’s gonna be a long 4 years, alas.
This is beyond stupid. It’s one thing to individually release certain things. It’s another to give people a *comprehensive* list of our nuclear infrastructure.
The difference between giving the bad guys a map, and giving them a map with all the targets marked in red.
Doesn’t this make us all so very, very glad to see the digitalization of all our medical records under Obama? Ostensibly to save money and facilitate analysis of “best practices” and transfer of an individual’s records accurately from specialist to specialist? Never mind the fact as to where physicians in pvt practice are going to come up with the $40,000 (proj. avg) to accomplish this. Never mind the potential use of the data to restrict procedures deemed “too risky and/or not cost effective. Never mind all that. If THIS can happen to something with SENSITIVE stamped on every page in old fashioned quill & ink fashion, what do you think the odds are of all the digitalized electrons containing our most pvt health info “migrating” to unauthorized hands under Obama’s “improved” health-care plan? And the stuff won’t even have a security rating!
Where is Sandy Berger when you need him?
Our country is like a bus full of people careening down a steep mountain road with a monkey at the wheel.
Umm, they weren’t “Confidential,” which is actually classified material. They were “Sensitive but Unclassified,” the catch-all for information that isn’t, well, classified, but that you usually want to deprive the public of. These documents used to be freely available, and after 9/11 they got SBU slapped all over them. Probably nothing was given away here that didn’t used to be in the public domain, thinking of all the things the NRC used to publish.
