Senators who received a classified briefing on the leak of hundreds of highly-classified documents, allegedly by a low-ranking Air National Guardsman, emerged shocked by the lax enforcement of rules designed to protect the nation’s secrets.
“I think there are a whole host of questions,” said Mark Warner , chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, after the closed-door session with Pentagon and intelligence officials. “From access to internal security controls to making sure how we really make sure continuous vetting in an internet-driven age actually can spot anomalies.”
"I didn’t get a very good explanation of how this could happen," Graham said."I’m just as confused now as I was before the briefing.” “My principal question is how in the world did a 21-year-old National Guardsman have access to this level of top secret information?” said Sen. Angus King before yesterday’s briefing.
“For example, if this recent leaker did not normally print intelligence products, then one day printed an unusual quantity, that would be flagged. If the most recent leaker focuses on cybersecurity for his normal job, but suddenly was accessing reports about China or Iran, that could be flagged as suspicious,” they suggest. “A question from a supervisor about unusual activity might be enough to dissuade the person from further activity.
“I say it again, conflict in the Indo-Pacific is not inevitable, but we cannot rest on our past accomplishments to secure a peaceful future,” Aquilino said. “Now, for me, it doesn't matter what the timeline is … I'm responsible to prevent this conflict today. And if deterrence were to fail, they'll be able to fight and win.
“Russian jets do not enter our air defense areas, striking from long distances. As a result, civilians in the northern, southern, and eastern regions suffer,” the Twitter thread continued. “The F-16 carries air-to-air missiles with a range of up to 180 km. This aircraft will make it possible to push enemy jets away from our borders and front lines … The wide range of the F-16's modern high-precision weapons will allow for inflicting strikes on Russian troops during counter-offensive actions.
