Odd News

First up, the Air Farce, whose supply pukes are reminding everyone associated with the Junior Birdmen that they can be prosecuted for looking at anything from Wikileaks. "Everyone" includes their spouses, their kids, their pets and presumably cousins. So look for heavily-armed Air Cops to be breaking down doors and arresting ten year old kids.

Here is what is so stupid: Say, just for an example, that someone took the text of a Wikileaks cable and painted it on the side of a building. According to the Air Force's stunning legal minds, everyone who walked down the street and glanced at the building could be prosecuted.

Update: The Air Force has walked this one back, proving once again that sunlight is the best disinfectant of government fuckery.

Then there is the guy in California who went to a cockfight and was killed by one of the birds. Not much to say about this one but:

Still, from a legal perspective, it's illegal for a government employee to read classified documents that are above his classification level or where he has no "need to know" even if said document is reproduced in toto in the New York Times and distributed to every man, woman, and child in America. That's an amusing part of all the legal shit you sign up for when you sign up for that government paycheck. It doesn't matter whether it's been published or not, if you're not cleared to read it, you ain't 'spozed to read it.

That said, the spouses and kiddos certainly didn't sign up with the Air Farce, and it was farcical that they were being threatened too. But from a viewpoint of simply warning the airheads about that long-existing government regulation about you as a government employee reading shit above your classification level... well, probably worthwhile, though I doubt anybody will ever be prosecuted for browsing the Wikileaks site.
