Air Force unit in document leaks case loses intel mission

04/18/2023

(Sorry, I got a lil behind :-).

"The Air Force is investigating how a lone airman could access and distribute possibly hundreds of highly classified documents,

and in the meantime has taken away the intelligence mission from the unit where the leaks took place, Air Force leaders said Tuesday.

"The leaks have raised questions as to how a single airman could have removed so many documents without being detected, why there were not safety checks in place and how the documents could have lingered online undetected for months."

(We'll get the answers to all that about the same time NATO concludes is investigation to the Ukrainian air defenses landing a missile in Poland that killed two people. I'll be on the look out for it. I've been doing this a long time. What usually happens is, just like in the case of the missile landing in Poland? Usually you just never hear any more about it, and it just gets swept under the rug.)

“How could this guardsman take this information and distribute it electronically for weeks, if not months, and nobody knew about it?” Democratic Sen. Jon Tester of Montana asked the Air Force leaders testifying before a Senate defense appropriations subcommittee.

(Well...the long and short of it is? 

It wasn't him, that's how.

Hey,  at this point? I'm just glad somebody is asking the right questions.)

"For top secret information across the military, there’s supposed to be accountable control officers who are responsible for recording active top secret documents and ensuring they have been either properly secured or disposed of, such as through a shredder or by burning them."

"Pending further review, “The 102nd Intelligence Wing is not currently performing its assigned intelligence mission. The mission has been temporarily reassigned to other organizations within the Air Force,” the service said in a statement to The Associated Press."

"The leaked documents exposed to the world unvarnished secret assessments on the war in Ukraine, the capabilities and geopolitical interests of other nations and other national security issues."

(Kinda tells you who was behind it dont ya think?)
