A good primer, but more like SIGINT 101 CIRCA 1970. No mention of China, Iran, North Korea, or the use of SIGINT against terrorist or insurgent networks.

What? How can you put Manning in the same category? Sure he established the trend and legitimized Wikileaks, but most of what he released was tactically valuable to enemies of the U.S. Arguably Manning did endanger the lives of U.S. service

I have eaten at Maurice's several times (it is delicious), but never knew the history. Confederate flags are common at businesses throughout the region, so it's hard to single out Maurice's as an outlier in this regard. Still
