On the Powerline Blog the subject was the leaked tapes of the supposedly secret meeting of the GOP last week. What struck me was that this person infiltrated a supposedly secure location with false ID. She passed all the hurdles that were put up to keep things secure. The political aspect is business as usual. There is no integrity when it comes to gathering news. We should be used to that by now.
What about the security angle? If it is this easy to infiltrate a meeting with very exclusive membership what does it say about national security. This woman had the credentials. She went through all the hoops. She still got in and it never occurred to anyone when she was “escorted” out that she might have recording she was not supposed to have?
What if she had been a terrorists instead of a reporter?

That shows how far we've moved from actual security in this country. I seriously doubt if any such thing would have happened during WW II, but I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteWas that the war where we knew who the enemy was and they were from another country?
