1 Open source info. Even the puzzle palace uses that.
Someone hasn't thought this through. I see a tsunami of Freedom of Information requests.

3 If it is already out there, this has no impact. I am thinking this is some of the pre-operation packets they give the press so when hate starts flying they have talking points on what is being used and how already.

4 "Time and time again, classified information is leaked or peddled for political purposes to try to make the president look bad," said Hegseth at a news conference in June.

That's exactly what ABC's David Muir did on the ABC evening news show after the bunker buster bombing of Iranian nuke sites. I don't usually watch their bullshit but that night I just happened to catch the first few minutes and realized why I don't usually watch it.

Muir's lead story was from an unauthorized leak from an "anonymous source" that claimed damage to the Iranian nuclear capability was minimal and the facilities were still operational. Hegseth had to call a press conference to debunk the story which he said was from a preliminary report and that later, more thorough assessments showed that the damage was indeed devastating.

But I thought it was pretty clear as I watch Muir that evening that he was gleefully reporting anything, just anything, he could find to make Trump look bad regardless of the facts. Without the slightest effort to verify this sketchy information, Muir made it his lead story as if it was the gospel. It was pretty obvious that he was enjoying it too.

But notice how the Iranians haven't been launching many missiles lately.

The reporters from the main stream media are the ones who have gone a bridge too far. FAFO.
