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.

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! Doesn’t this make us all so very, very glad to see the digitalization of all our medical records under Obama?

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. This is beyond stupid. It’s one thing to individually release certain things.
