Administration to Fed Workers: Don't Read WikiLeaks

[Middleman]

So, the Feds don't want their workers to read Wikileaks. Bravo They are geniuses. What a stellar response.

Now that they've given this edict, I guess that gives them the authority to 'pat down' Fed workers' home computers. They can start a new agency, a kind of cyber TSA. They can even feel up people's private porn files, just to make sure there ain't any naked pics of Bill Clinton's special looking dick there.

n a case of closing the barn door after the horses are out, federal employees are being warned not to look at documents leaked by WikiLeaks website, noting that despite their wide release, the hundreds of thousands of stolen papers are still classified by the U.S. government.
An internal memo sent late last week from the Office of Management and Budget and obtained by Fox News says that federal employees and contractors are "obligated to protect classified information pursuant to all applicable laws, and to use government information technology systems in accordance with agency procedures so that the integrity of such systems is not compromised."
The memo, which calls the disclosure damaging to national security, must be "declassified by an appropriate U.S. government authority" before it can be viewed by personnel that don't have the security clearance.

Classified information is still classified even if it has been leaked. If you have a Security Clearance you are only supposed to access that information that you have a need to know

"Everyone else is doing it" is not an excuse

A bit late for that, isn't it?

 

[Middleman]

I was thinking, shouldn't they be publicizing their aggressive investigation as to who, in the Federal government, helped leak the documents? Perhaps they ought to be offering a reward to Federal workers to turn in the culprits.

Oddly enough, FAUX News is reporting things incorrectly. They were told not to access Wikileaks on Federal computers. I see nothing wrong with that.

Surprisingly, CNN also reported this incorrectly.

They can still contribute though, right?

 

[Middleman]

Perhaps Ravi can kindly provide us a link with accurate reporting?
