I was there and worked with this guy. I would trust him with NOTHING, much less national security info !!!! NONE of these people knew him. Again…..I was there. He’s all about lies. Now…if the information he “shared” caused a national incident, everyone would be screaming because no one stopped him. Such fools ye be!!

Dear “so what”:

You are probably right, but I will continue to stay in this flight and expose the politicians that turn a blind-eye for the sake of their “political security.”

By the way, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-44th) is definitely the exception:

Thank you for paying attention to this issue with billions of federal tax payer dollars going out with questionable accountability.

Sincerely,

Robert,

Sorry to hear about all this, but one thing I know about the government is that when it comes time to making a rational and common sense decision, they are more likely to NOT to make that type of decision. Our country is overrun by a bunch of bafoons who have absolutely no common sense or integrity—thanks to all of those politicians who have failed in intergrity and not been held responsible for their actions——-and hopefully, Kharma comes around to those individuals who have made the poor choices here…You were only to expose this info to better inform our nation of what our government was failing to do in the first place…Sorry, but I don’t see it getting any better with the OB adminstration or OB helping you out…Bush may have had his cronies but what is done is done and you’re labeled a narc….No more fed jobs….

Good Luck Buddy..

The “Sensitive Security Information” or SSI marking is an UNCLASSIFIED information label governed by executive agency regulation, not statutory law like CLASSIFIED information is. CLASSIFIED INFORMATION is “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION,” SECRET, and TOP SECRET.

Keep in mind that the TSA retroactively applied their SSI marking three years after their canceled plan.

How can you put an UNCLASSIFIED information label on something that NEVER happened?

Some other UNCLASSIFIED information labels:

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO)

LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE (LES)

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU)

CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI)

Sincerely,

Robert MacLean

I would not feel safe until a brave whistleblower with lots of integrity releases, say, plans of a secret military mission to North Korea, or maybe sketch out secret troop location/movements on national TV during a war. Cause, you know, the public has a right to know about such things.

I was not aware Obama was president and/or in charge of air marshal program in 2006.

Unless, of course, if he could time-travel.

That would be AWESOME.

This so called whistleblower decided he needed to release classified documents without authorization. He is getting just what he deserves. I don’t want some federal employee deciding on hie/her own what “the public has a right to know”. This person can not be trusted and should not work in any area where trust and judgement are required.

oh i forgot–
john o’neil was he the guy who created all the safety training in highrises after the first world trade center attacks?? (which were the same people by the way!)
i worked in a “highrise” 11 story (!) in pasadena— but this man john o’neill had enacted some sort of training requirement for large corporations (i worked at xerox) to train all employees on emergency evactuation from a high rise building espescially. in response to the first attack– it was taken verrrrry seriously by all of us employees and i always felt that i was lucky to have gone through the training. we each had a different role– someone making sure everyone got out, they were not using elevators, moved “far away” from any falling glass and debris … it was like some sort of massive program… it was all put in place all over the u.s. by john o’neill and responsible honorable men and woman who actually cared about our safety.
remember GOP? this was back when we cared about the american employee.. or people working for a company — remember “team training” & “kaisan” it was a big concept!
now it’s cut and run– get your profits before anyone finds out and go hide in some “bunker” or island somewhere…

my father served in WWll– he enlisted when he was 17! can you imagine? 17 year olds now can barely get out of bed…
i have differing political views than my father– but we have one thing very much in common—
the expectation of the truth from our government officials– even if a politician or human makes a mistake– admit your mistake. the people deserve it. when the truth is hidden it only makes those hiding it look more guilty.
together we can fix anything.
apart we can fix nothing.

i am soooooooooo tired of people blaming everything on obama… our state of california does not seem to be part of the usa anymore….
you think everything went bad since obama took office??
i grew up in l.a.— im 50. i was here for civil rights, womens rights, riots, peace movement– even NIXON!
remember that patriots??!!
it’s as if the last 30 years have not even happened here in california….
almost seems as if texas, california and alaska have somthing in common…. oil and cheap labor from mexico. and i dont mean cheap as in human beings— i mean our state, texas and alaska using mexico and california for thier crap!! you think the current probs dont have anything to do with that?? this cartel stuff goes waaaaaaaay further than just mexico people– there are some huge u.s. companies who build everything in mexico– we have an immigration policy with every country (even canada) and we just cant get a handle on this one??
give me a break— i think this is the actual reason you got fired mr. maclean– you were connecting the dots a little too quickly… and the past “administration’s” both (stop picking for us john and ken and jay leno!) of california and mexico were getting nervous.. and the federal gov, bush and chaney with the wars and petroleum?? anyone been reading up on any history lately??
i dont hold allegence to liars anymore…
why are we still putting up with having our voices not heard… i dont care how crazy or conspiracy theory people think we are— this crap is going on right under our feet people– to have a man who served our country treated like this?
it’s wrong wrong wrong…
yet it seems that all we hear about on the news is bad economy and get over it–
i believe you mr. maclean, and i have nothing to gain— im not a politician. im a 50 year old woman, 2nd generation californian, with a long memory…
remember ollie north? think the “patriot act” hasnt hurt us as much as it has protected us? my county of orange, or state of california will not return a call to me for the last 6 months… i know they are soooooo busy— im busy too–
knock it off
i cant wait til your story comes out nationally mr. maclean–
a little truth in our state would be such a welcome breath of fresh air—
im tired of all the hiding the elected and appointed officials are doing.
we all desearve better!!
i know i do…
