I am writing to express my deep concern over recent reports that sensitive U.S. war plans were leaked in a private Signal chat, allegedly involving individuals who failed to uphold their duty to protect classified information. This breach is unacceptable and demands immediate action to hold those responsible accountable. If true, this incident reflects a dangerous disregard for national security. Past cases demonstrate the severe consequences for such negligence: - Reality Winner an NSA contractor, was prosecuted and imprisoned for leaking classified documents. - Chelsea Manning faced court-martial and imprisonment for disseminating sensitive military intelligence. - General David Petraeus resigned as CIA Director and faced legal repercussions for sharing classified notebooks with an unauthorized individual. Given these precedents, I urge you to: 1. Investigate the participants in this Signal chat to determine who had access to sensitive materials. 2. Remove any individuals found to have acted irresponsibly from positions where they can access classified information. 3. Strengthen safeguards to prevent future leaks, including stricter enforcement of security protocols for digital communications. National security cannot be compromised by reckless behavior. I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust you will take decisive action to uphold the integrity of our defense systems.
