One might expect this sort of lame brained behavior from a zero tolerance public school but not from the United States Senate.
Not even the greatest deliberative body in the world can untell a secret but it's trying. Actually it was NSA's secret until Snowden told the world and the Daily Mail uploaded the first 6 pages of a power point presentation of a top secret program known as PRISM. Now one would think that once a secret is broken it can no longer be a secret but the Senate Security Staff advises that just because PRISM has been discussed 24 hours a day for the last week in every medium save smoke signals it is still nevertheless classified.
Please share with your staff the guidance below.
Classified information, whether or not posted on public websites, disclosed to the media, or otherwise in the public domain, remains classified and must be treated as such until it is declassified by an appropriate U.S. government authority.
Senate employees and contractors shall not, while accessing the web on unclassified government systems, access or download documents that are known or suspected to contain classified information.
Got that. Don't read it or you'll grow hair in the palm of your hand. But what if you read it but didn't know it was classified? Confession is good for the soul.
Senate employees and contractors who believe they may have inadvertently accessed or downloaded classified information via non-classified Senate systems, should contact the Office of Senate Security for assistance.
It's a classified document but one would think these people are talking about herpes or some other STD. Good luck with this, Harry Reid.
