What to Do Before Sharing Classified Documents With Your Friends Online

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:39:34 GMT

Let’s say you’re locked in a heated geopolitical spat with a few of your online friends in a small chatroom, and you happen to be privy to some classified documents that could back up your argument. While it’s tempting to snap a photo and share it to prove your point, especially given the appeal of impressing onlookers and instantly placating naysayers, it would behoove you to take a step back and think through the potential repercussions. Even though you may only plan for the documents to be shared among your small group of 20 or so friends, you should assume that copies may trickle out, and in a few weeks, those very same documents could appear on the front pages of international news sites. Thinking of this as an inevitability instead of a remote prospect may help protect you in the face of an ensuing federal investigation.ProvenanceThorough investigators will try to establish the provenance of leaked materials from a dual perspective, seeking to ascertain the original points of ...

Obituaries for Nuremberg Prosecutor Erase His Beliefs About the U.S.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:39:34 GMT

Benjamin Ferencz died last week at the age of 103. Ferencz was the last surviving member of the team of prosecutors at the Nuremberg trials after World War II, which led to the convictions of many top Nazi officials and since been understood as the exemplar of justice for war crimes.Ferencz served in the U.S. Army during the war and in its aftermath investigated the conditions at the Buchenwald, Mauthausen, and Dachau concentration camps. He spent the rest of his life advocating for the creation of an international criminal court and accountability for war criminals generally.These facts appear in his obituaries. What’s missing from all of them in major outlets — including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the BBC, The Guardian, Reuters, and the Associated Press — is Ferencz’s belief that top members of the George W. Bush administration, including Bush himself, should have been tried for war crimes for the Iraq War.This is not obscure, difficult-to-obtain information. I...

Scientists challenge US wildlife director’s qualifications

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:39:34 GMT

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Dozens of scientists from universities and environmental groups are pushing for the removal of the head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, claiming she lacks the educational background required to run the agency despite securing Senate confirmation last year.The concerns over the credentials of service Director Martha Williams were outlined in a letter from 100 scientists sent Wednesday to President Joe Biden and U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. Williams is an attorney who majored in philosophy, and her critics claim she does not have the science-based education that federal law says is required for the position. Government attorneys have rejected allegations she’s not credentialed, but they have not disputed her lack of a science degree.There was no discussion of Williams’ educational qualifications during her Senate confirmation hearing. She was confirmed on a voice vote in February 2022 with bipartisan support. The call for her resignation o...
