DrHarleyboy, how many of the RNC deemed classified emails contain public information? How much content was classified by one department while other departments weren't told of the classification? And if they were told may or may not agree with it? Was the NSA refusal to give Clinton an Obama-like Blackberry worthy of any great national importance as Judicial watch suggested it was? How subjective is the classification process?

Consider this comment by Peter Swire, a law and ethics professor at Georgia Tech.

"“We live in a world where intelligence comes from many different sources, and one agency treats a piece of news as classified and another treats it as unclassified,” Swire said. “It’s possible for something to be classified in one area of government and that classification status be unknown to everyone else. The problem of whether [Clinton’s email contents] would have been classified information would have been the same if it were on [the State Department’s server].”" .. http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2015/09/11/3700451/demystifying-classified-material/

On reading conix's Fox effort you must have noted the lack of mention that classification
of material has always been highly subjective, so quite inconsistent ...

One other example of the hodgepodge, on a whim, whatever, classification situation.

A Pentagon report recently released through a FOIA appeal and published today by the National Security Archive includes several astonishing excisions, including one from Nikita Khrushchev's "publicly announced message" on 27 October 1962, where he proposed removing Soviet missiles from Cuba if the United States "will remove its analogous means from [excised]." [See document 2, PDF page 30] What Khrushchev said was "Turkey," but on national security grounds the Pentagon would not declassify that word in a statement that was made to the world.

It wouldn't surprise if you and conix boil your vegetables, too.
