It is not from a sensationlist newspaper but a serious slightly left of centre newspaper with integrity

It is clear from the article that there was no malicious intent and some would see it as perfectly legitimate to seek data many people believe the US hides from the world and its own people - there is a belief that it was sensitivity around 9/11 (which horrified us)

I also believe that by leaving the kind of messages that he did he was doing not only the US military but the whole world a service.
