text: It would be difficult to disagree that the accused is most definitely an idiot. The real concern here is how such an idiot got a security clearance in the first place. It points to just one of many weaknesses in the government's system for classifying documents and keeping them confidential. Because our government allows our elected officials and military brass and a slew of government executives  to "classify" pretty much anything, especially documents that might even hint at their frequent misuse of government resources and lack of discretion, they have created a system that is massive, unmanageable and that lacks public confidence. The public no longer sees the classification system as being in the interest of our country. Neither do federal employees. An idiot got clearance because to many idiots have to have clearance so they can access utterly benign documents to do their jobs. She is just one splinter in the tree.
