Why?
The state dept was never a Bush backer by any means, so the media had no desire to openly expose/embarrass any entity that was against Bush!
Sure, it would have been a spot on the "Bush Administration", but that spot would have been on one of the entities that was doing their best to undercut the President's policies; the media ain't 'bout to spoil this relationship.:BangHead:
I think your on to something here....... like the right track!
I'm not entirely certain that it is any different for this current administration although only time will tell which departments will work with the President and which will pull against him.
Years ago we were in a world war with several fronts. Security was tight... so tight.... even soldiers private mail was read and censored... and the saying common "loose lips sink ships" a motto oft repeated....
Then we find these security breechs in a day and age when things like identity theft may not only hurt an individual, but set up a false personna who is able to infiltrate and gather data and insight and compromise our safety.
This is right up there with missing/stolen laptops, hard drives and discs filled with data and files.......and no telling what else. So they threaten an innocent who breaks the news with prosecution? What bullying and ugliness! They should be looking at themselves and their own processes and policies and place some risk and irresponsibility into the category of criminal behavior for deriliction of duties in the performance of their job to maintain security.
