Story: 'Confidential US security documents' flaunted online

• 
• 

A FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY document was
placed on the Internet, it's the end of western
civilization! A little research goes a long way.
The title and the article refer to the document
in question as "Confidential US security
documents". Confidential is a document
classification level, ranking just under the
Secret level. The actual document was
classified at the: FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
level. Either the reporter doesn't know, hasn't
properly researched or he is trying make a
story sexy that really isn't. The classification
level of FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY, is at the
very bottom of the classification hierarchy
and carries no criminal penalties for
disclosure.
