Army pulls training slide listing Clinton, Petraeus as e | ArmyTimes

Patraeus admitted to and was punished for improper handling of classified information. Clinton has been proven to have mishandled (extremely careless according to the FBI) classified information. While I would not put them in the same camp as Hasan and Snowden they are both examples of people that should have known better and exposed secrets they should have known better than to do. In HRC's case she remains untried and potentially the next President.

Please note, there are several types that we identify in the security world today and the term insider threat has evolved. The Army is only trying to create a lesson which describes these new terms. They include the trusted unwitting insider, the trusted witting insider, and the untrusted insider. There is no doubt that Clinton acted carelessly which at the minimum identifies her as the trusted unwitting insider. However, I do not believe she was unwitting. I also do not believe she acted in a manner to purposefully give national secrets to the enemy either but her actions did in fact compromise security and classified/sensitive information.

Those of you who currently or once wrote down your passwords for government systems and "hid" them under your keyboards are indeed examples of unwitting insider threats.

Truth hurts
