WASHINGTON — The Air Force said Monday it is looking at ways to better control access to classified information, in the wake of revelations that superiors of the Massachusetts Air
member charged with leaking highly classified documents had raised concerns internally about his handling of sensitive data.told reporters that the Air Force needs to better enforce the rules that govern access to classified information based on whether someone with the correct security clearance also has a need to know the information.
“It’s a long-standing tenet that you don’t get to look at something classified unless there’s a legitimate reason for you to look at it,”said. “Just because you happen to have a certain level of clearance doesn’t mean you get access to all the material at that level. So we’re taking a hard look at some practices around that.” He said he doesn’t think the service enforced that rule strongly enough.
