You realize that giving security clearance to someone is a big issue. What if the retired person loses his mind? Is there law to try him when he puts information publicly? There are so many other legal matters.
With the whole whistle blowing thing, you'd really think US would not take security matters more seriously?
being retired may or may not mean you are going
senile, in the military, you can retired after 20 years of service, say you joined up at 17, then you retired at 37....
yes, there is a law for willfully divulge information, if edward snowden is in the US right now he woild have end up in jail, and we do tried and convicted Bradley Manning (its chelsea manning now by the way)
The fact is like this, yes, things got tense after bradley manning and edward snowden. But there arent anything more to do on account od preselection and vetting. You would still pass the vetting stage and get dissatified with the government and spill the bean, but within the intelligence agency, people worked there dont really need to trust each other, but you need to trust the system
The information that is not meant for "retired" officials is ok? Got to be kidding me. See, the retired man has no obligation to not share the inside information, unlike the worker. Compare how much repercussions will a retired or working man will face.
actually you are still bound by confidentiality even after you left, retire and people who worked highly classified info knows their value and what the result if and would they leak it.
Not saying its ok to let people over their prime to know current intel, but you do build your network of asset during the course of your career and yiur asset wont stop talking to you once you retired as they trust you, thats why he or she is your asset. That is how info still fliwing even after the guy retired
All my comments were in reference to this guy who claims to be "retired" but still claims to have access to brand new secret information.
if he still have his asset, source or mole in place, i cant see why not he can still access to current intel
As i said, your source wont stop working for you just because you retired. As long as your source trust you, you can keep your info flowing.
Dont see why he claim to be retire then he cant have latest intel. I dont work in MILINT anymore yet i still have my source in US and overseas and i can and will and did got some latest ongoing intel.
