Everyone is familiar by now about this terrible mistake: a journalist was added to a group text with top administration officials created for the purpose of coordinating high-level national-security conversations about the Houthis in Yemen. This interview with Jeffrey Goldberg provides additional context for this troubling event.
As a general rule if a news title uses the phrase „broke the internet“ don’t even bother reading it. Doubly so if it’s an opinion article.
I think this doesn’t belong in geo pol. The event that happened in Yemen has long passed by the time this interview happened. So we have a domestic news org reporting on talks a journalist was involved in with cabinet members on US soil
If there was even one piece of information that could’ve been used against our military by actors in the Middle East, I would say it should stay
Instead it’s an after the fact, play by play of a domestic chat. When they stated the blasts would be felt in two hours, the journalist had no clue what it was even referring to until after it happened, we are well after the fact of any geographical happening here with this article
Anyone else think this was intentional? I don’t know why. But I do
so it all comes down to whether Jeffrey Goldberg will release some evidence about those very details like weapons, launch times, etc. which should totally be classified.
Damage of the leak on international trust is heavy already
