Any comments on penalties of classifying info for purely political reasons?

Sure...the rules that ALL Presidents play by are naturally whimsical because the rules allow for interpretation by the folks that classify the information; which, as I am sure you are alluding to, they often do in their own self interest.
If, tobster, you think Bush is the first to abuse how and why data is classified, we have nothing more to discuss.
If, however, you want to to talk about how to try and reform the process, I'm all ears.
"Our KKK meetings"!!!
