Watching the 60 Minutes interview, I formed the opinion that I was witnessing a crime being committed. My training in the handling of classified information dates to my Army days, over 40 years ago, but I recall that if one reveals anything from a SECRET or TOP SECRET document it’s good for ten years. To say “We have a secret weapon; its capabilities are thus and so, but I can’t give details because they’re secret,” involves the spilling of some very secret beans. The omission of specific details does not make the harm go away. It will be recalled that the biggest secret of the Manhattan Project was not this calculation or that drawing, but the very fact of its existence.
