Brilliant.  Just great.

I'm sure all that information was already in the public domain, but probably not all centralized into one concise document like that.  Oh well, the cat is out of the bag; there is nothing we can do about it now.

I think anyone who wanted this information could have been resourceful enough to get it anyway. It's not like an enemy state's first instinct is "Google it!"

It was, but it's not this document that I'm worried about. It's the next colossal fuck-up that really leaves us exposed. This doesn't exactly make me feel confident about the people responsible for this type of intel.

There is no reason to feel confident about our government.  This kind of thing happens all the time on all levels.  Believe me, if you knew how often mistakes similar to this get made, you'd move to the moon.

EDIT - I'm referring more to the state and county level.  I'm not a federal employee.  But many of the same principles apply because the same people try to do things the same way, with the same results.
