Do you think its okay to knowingly release classified information for political gain

[No Limit]

Please vote, this is a public poll.

 

[Icarusintel]

is this a rhetorical question?

 

[No Limit]

Yes it is. Obviously it has something to do with Rove but if you think Rove is innocent you have nothing to fear. I am sick of people defending Rove by saying let the courts decide; instead I want to put this in a position where it has nothing to do with party affiliation. I don't think anyone actually will say yes but then again you'd be suprised.

 

[No Limit]

Crap, I messed up. Can you please post what you voted for, I forgot to make this a public poll. That includes the guy that voted yes.

 

[Ennui]

I vote no.... common sense.

Plus I pretty much support No Limit 100%.

 

[The Mullinator]

For pure political gain its very wrong. If political gain is a side effect of doing something right then maybe. However something like this is far too situational to have a poll applied.

 

[The Monkey]

What kind of classified information?

 

[Lt. Drebin]

Absolutly not. I'll leave further commenting to the other thread about this sack of shit.

 

[No Limit]

What kind of classified information?

Any classified information that could compromise the security of this country. And remember the other part of the question, this has nothing to do with doing it for the right reasons, its about doing it for political gain.

 

[The Monkey]

The politicians have no right to release that information, any politician that does it should be fired and held in a court of law.

what if a politician say revealed the precense of such a devasting weapon that it would surely lead to the demise of everyone on the planet ..if he then revealed this secret ...would he be wrong, even though it exposes his country to risk?

Well then it wouldn't be for political gains, but for the nation's security.

think red october

 

[jabberwock95]

I've seen red october.... great movie.

But I think it can depend on the situation. The governments decide to classify so much stupid crap that some of it defies belief, but I disagree with releasing possibly dangerous information for purely for a political advantage.

 

[Lt. Drebin]

So, who said yes?

Just curious for the reasoning or lack there of.

Probably the same kind of person who voted "Don't Know" in the gender poll.
