That's the last nail in the coffin lid for access to
government information.
Adm. Poindexter is the author of the infamous "Poindexter
amendment" to the equally infamous NSDD-145 signed by Reagan
that closed off much of the government's information to
private access.
Poindexter's role in this was to write an amendment that
created a new classification category out of whole cloth.
On top of "Top Secret," "Secret" and "Confidential"
Poindexter then created "Sensitive but unclassified." Under
this new classification, a federal agency could withhold
nearly anything it wanted. Very dark day that was... and
now this jerk is sitting in the Pentagon.
