National security... or outright censorship? Is it censorship to protect security interests? Is it censorship to not publish weaknesses of security measures? IF and I emphasize the IF they did not say anything the average pilot could not figure out for themselves or even the average ground dweller with a few smarts.

"Sunshine" laws and the like might have been violated in this case, but they always include provisions for security concerns. By definition, information revealing vulnerabilities in defense systems are secret. Transcripts of gov't proccedings are always suspect. The daddy of them all, the Congressional Record, is highly editted after the fact as a matter of routine. We worked with a project a while back that proposed capturing all the video of the procedings and the concurrent closed captioning for a real record of the congressional procedings, but it fell through (we did demo a prototype of the system). |

"There were some operational security concerns revealed by this person who had knowledge but appeared as a public citizen, which we think was out of line. The disclosure of that information could go directly to national security concerns." This unfortunate F-18 pilot will probably be relegated to flying a desk in the Navy after pointing out what all of us on the civilian side of aviation already know - namely that one could get an IFR clearance to a nearby airport, turn at the last minute, then blah, blah, blah... Any one of us on the civy side could have made the exact same comments. -- Peter |
