[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] In a post titled "Wouldn't want them to get too far ahead of the SecDef," [URL=http://www.markarkleiman.com/archives/torture_/2004/05/wouldnt_want_them_to_get_too_far_ahead_of_the_secdef.php]Mark A. R. Kleiman[/URL] links to a [URL=http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,634638,00.html]story[/URL] about a Pentagon memo. I really liked the last part of the following about not complicating the investigative processes by seeking information. Ironies are so cute sometimes. [QUOTE]This leakage will be investigated for criminal prosecution. If you don't have the document and have never had legitimate access, please do not complicate the investigative processes by seeking information.[/QUOTE]So reads an memo from the Pentagon to personnel ordering them not to try to obtain and read the Taguba report from the Fox News website. [QUOTE]ALL ISD CUSTOMERS SHOULD: 1) NOT GO TO FOX NEWS TO READ OR OBTAIN A COPY 2) NOT comment on this to anyone, friends, family etc. 3) NOT delete the file if you receive it via e-mail, but 4) CALL THE ISD HELPDESK AT 602-2627 IMMEDIATELY .... Again, THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT IS CLASSIFIED; DO NOT GO TO FOX NEWS TO READ OR OBTAIN A COPY.[/QUOTE]In a funny, in that the-person-who-wrote-the-memo-just-doesn�t-get-it sort of way, the memo reads like directions about where to obtain and read the Taguba report. But in that all too serious sort of way, it�s the Pentagon culture at to it�s most opaque as it attempts to stifle information and prevent people from knowing what�s going on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
