From what I have read so far, Colin Powell's use of email, his use of a private company was more negligent than Hillary's use. At least her email was isolated, Powell's email was open to any admin on that system. The fact both used private Internet addresses tells me our security people were asleep or didn't care? Or this was standard practice then. Much ado about nothing as you can't change that and rehashing it serves no purpose. All systems using the Internet are insecure, so is it time to bring back letters and couriers. lol
""DS [diplomatic security] would not allow them into the secure spaces, especially up your way," Powell wrote. "When I asked why not they gave me all kinds of nonsense about how they gave out signals and could be read by spies, etc....I had numerous meetings with them. We even opened one up for them to try to explain to me why it was more dangerous than say, a remote control for one of the many tvs in the suite. Or something embedded in my shoe heel. They never satisfied me and NSA/CIA wouldn't back off. So, we just went about our business and stopped asking."
"I had an ancient version of a PDA and used it," Powell added. "In general, the suite was so sealed that it is hard to get signals in or out wirelessly.""
Powell advice to Clinton about email goes public
