Well stop giving them the fu*king air time
Yes, because I'm sharing to such a huge audience...
Well stop giving them the fu*king air time
Of course it is. Its a crime scene, there will be valuable intel and evidence in those shots.I understand sharing intelligence. Is it normal to share close up shots of the attack?
A positive here, we arent rolling over about this. May is described as furious, Amber Rudd 'irritated' and Burnham took it up with the US ambassador. It looks like we are going to hold that prick Trump to account over this. These things are too sensitive and complicated for a mental weakling like him. Not to go into any details but I work in the field of intelligence and have to manage sensitive material, and I take it very seriously. Intelligence is to be managed, there are strict handling and dissemination codes and rules - there is ultimately an 'owner' of any single piece of intel and sharing of it while important has to be managed, lives depend on it. His release of the material from Israel will have put the life of the source of that material at risk, fact. The release of this material by the US may have compromised the UK police and intel services response to this and investigation. It is simply unacceptable.
You should be able to expect another country to observe your rules when it comes to information sharing. When the time comes that you can't trust them to do so you stop sharing sensitive information.
It's very much in the American interests to toe the line on this.
There is something very sinister going on within the US intelligence agencies right now with what has gone on more to do with embarrassing their own president than it does trying to shaft us imo.
It doesnt make it right, its a disgrace but i think that is what is happening.
Good point.
However that leaves us unable to trust US intel services until we are confident they are all committed to the same objective. Incidentally, have the media any responsibility by eg not publishing mutually sensitive material ?
