“He said he was troubled by the possibility that foreign governments, terrorists or organized crime could gain access to documents that reveal national secrets.”

That can be done even over old FTP, so bullshit! It’s like claiming the more efficient a communications system is, the more dangerous it is, so let’s go back to the stone age so that we can all be as safe as possible.

“Politicians charged on Tuesday that e-mail programs, Windows Messenger, blogs, chat rooms, and internet connections can pose a ‘national security threat’ because they enable federal employees to share sensitive or classified documents accidentally from their computers,” says CNET News.

Ya know, if they would just be straight about what their greedy little agendas really are and not hide behind jingoistic tripe like ‘national security threat’ I would not have quite such an instant gag reflex.

I’m sick to death of being treated like an idiot by politicians who act like idiots.
