Is it time to put "national" into national security?

[meaner gene]

Right now the job of national security is done by the federal government, with the governors left ignorant of threats to their states.

Even the National Governors Association has a homeland security group, but that group isn't briefed by national homeland security, or national intelligence.

This lack sharing often top secret information leaves states vulnerable to everything from terrorist attacks, to global pandemics.

If the states knew, what the federal government knew, they would have been prepared for 9-11 and COVID-19

Insted of arguing over acronyms, how about commenting on the OP?

Are we holding the nations top secrets too close to the vest, and not letting those who can do something with the information, have the information.

I don't agree with your premise that the States were in the dark.

This is just a corollary to the lie that Democrats were in the dark, you weren't.

Everyone knew what was going on. You're lying that by downplaying Trump meant hiding and he didn't do that. The Democrats, the governors, everyone knew what was going on.

This is just more partisan, gotcha politics

You mean like Hildabeast's idea of sharing Top Secret e-mails with foreign governments? Sure great idea there Braindead.

Let this sink in nice and good. Really look at it and think about it.

At the rate they're moving, that'll be the routine at the new line to the doctor's office.

Other than conspiracy theory, how about your view on how widely secret information should be shared?

There's a risk from the wrong people finding out, and a risk from the right people not finding out.

U.S. intelligence agencies were issuing ominous, classified warnings in January and February about the global danger posed by the coronavirus


The intelligence reports didn’t predict when the virus might land on U.S. shores or recommend particular steps that public health officials should take, issues outside the purview of the intelligence agencies. But they did track the spread of the virus in China, and later in other countries, and warned that Chinese officials appeared to be minimizing the severity of the outbreak.

Taken together, the reports and warnings painted an early picture of a virus that showed the characteristics of a globe-encircling pandemic that could require governments to take swift actions to contain it.


The warnings from U.S. intelligence agencies increased in volume toward the end of January and into early February, said officials familiar with the reports. By then, a majority of the intelligence reporting included in daily briefing papers and digests from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA was about covid-19, said officials who have read the reports.

The surge in warnings coincided with a move by Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) to sell dozens of stocks worth between $628,033 and $1.72 million. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Burr was privy to virtually all of the highly classified reporting on the coronavirus.
