But just to "twist the knife" a bit more, here's something that I found on the "In the Loop" section of today's Washington Post: You are twisting the knife. The article confirms what I've told you. You're commiting suicide. Yeah... it's called Port 80. Browsed content resides on the server, not your PC (minus spyware, ads, .gif and .jpg, and of course, cookies.... etc).. To have the content permanently residing on your computer, you would be required to actually download it as a saved file. I don't have SI content on my computer, yet I'm this website all the time... Hello...the data was transferred. Not only was it trasferred and processed by your CPU to get it to display on the screen, it's stored on your hard drive as "temporary Internet files". Once it's there, your drive is Secret/Noforn. Temporary internet files are not as temporary as you might think. Even when you "delete" the files they aren't deleted, they are just a tiny bit more challenging to get to. I dread to call on your abilities in logic but reformatting a hard drive is not* an approved procedure for declassifying a hard drive. That policy decision could have been silly or arbitrary and not based on science or ... it could have been made for reasons that are based on science and the data is still recoverable after the hard drive has been reformatted.. Which do you think it was? The Taguba report is recoverable from your PC. "As you probably are aware," Mike DiSilvestro, director of the Office of Senate Security, said in an e-mail Wednesday afternoon, "National Public Radio obtained a copy of the DoD report, classified SECRET/NOFORN, and posted it on the NPR website. Naturally, the report is of interest to many Members and staff. If you have not already obtained an official copy of the report from DoD, please do so, rather than printing or downloading the report from NPR." That's a disappointment. I've run across Silverstro and he knows better. He went brain dead and forgot about the temporary internet files. ............... It occurred to me at a later time, your comment on ...~"you can't yell fire in a theatre" illustrated that you did not understand the obvious. The very essence of the statute makes political speach illegal. There's a Constitutional problem with that. It you need further elaboration, please do ask. I won't reply, but perhaps someone else will jump in and explain it. I've lost the will to continue talking to a wall. There's a couple more ducks that I've held back on, knowing that you can't handle many ducks at one time. Your responses indicate my assessment was on target. But I'll drop the other ducks off now and end my part of the dialogue. The act of transferring the photos to CBS was also covered under Freedom of the Press, the individual was a defacto agent of CBS. Whether he was paid or not is immaterial. The definition of damage is vague and unprovable in this instance. What damage was done to the US? Certainly you would say something along the lines of "ROTFLOL, it's obvious". Is it? Which troops died, but would not have if the pictures were released? Which demonstrations occurred that would not have if the pictures were released? How would the approval of the US been different without the pictures being released? Rumsfeld said back in January that he announced that abuses were under investigation. Yet you think that it would be illegal to show that these allegations are correct? Compromised the investigation? That's a good one. Those individual didn't know what they did? If anything, I could make the claim that release of the photos encouraged the government to proceed with more seriousness. Bush has said that this is a free society and will publish the results of the investigation...So he seems to suggest that the government was planning on releasing the report anyway. Maybe Bush and Rumstud will claim "pain, suffering and loss of sleep" as damage. I give you ducks and you give me goose turds. jttmab
