For "on-line game friend's" eyes only

That's not what a real classified cover sheet looks like. It has a red border for one thing.

Well how do you think we got half of Natzi Germany's secrets? Yes, it was given in a rousing game of Monopoly, but still... you shouldn't be that surprised. =P

it prob. one of M$'s top online game.

JOYSTIQ, YOU ARE A BUNCH OF LIBERAL LIBTARDS FOR REPORTING THIS AND THIS JUST PROVES IT!!!1!
WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA JOYSTIQ? WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?? THE TERRORISTS WIN WHEN YOU REPORT THIS KIND OF LIBERAL TALKING POINTS!!!!!11!!!

This isn't surprisong at all. I mean, it's not like the FBI is monitoring all those Gunbound and Maple Story games for terrorist plots.

Better yet, plan them in Counter STrike Source, so you can claim it's for the game. Then build practice bombs in Gary's Mod...

we're screwed now!

She traded them for "Boots of Escaping with +3 dexterity."

I'm not seeing a problem here. Shouldn't all of Fish & Wildlife's agency reports be open record? It's not like they're the NSA or something. They're friggin' Fish & Wildlife. How could the number of boobies on Midway Atoll, or the number of eagle rays on Johnston Atoll possibly be a state secret.

Considering the kind of stuff that has been routinely leaked that actually had serious intelligence value without any reprecussions, one has to wonder why she's getting in trouble for releasing non-secret reports that should be available to anyone with a pencil and a FOIA application.

Kalroy,

It's of concern because she's sharing internal documents that are used to form policy with people who have an interest in manipulating that policy. She's essentially admitting that she's getting talking points from the oil lobby, giving them the inside line to intra-agency deliberation. Very different from requesting the document specifically. So it's worth asking whom else she shared the files with. Turns out it was with her child and an online game friend.

I can tell you that if I was ever found sharing company documents with friends or other corporations I'd be out the door pretty darn quick.

Yeah but John, she doesn't work for a private company. She works for a public agency that has zero reason for secrecy. If they need that kind of secrecy then it makes me wonder what they are doing behind closed doors that we're not allowed to know. It makes me wonder what kinds of public policy the Fish & Wildlife department could be working on that requires anything less than full transparency.

I could see if she worked for an organization that required secrecy to do its job, but that is not the case. Along with departments of education, the EPA and other such agencies, full transparency does not hinder their organizational goals in any way unless they're up to something hinky.
