The article discusses the Trump administration's handling of the Signal group-chat leak scandal, emphasizing the importance of secure communication in sensitive matters. Critics point out that technology has advanced and suggest utilizing robust security measures akin to the fictional "Cone of Silence". Moreover, parallels are drawn between Jeffrey Goldberg's leak and the Pentagon Papers, both exposing U.S. military strategies. Observers express concern over the repeated mistakes of the Trump administration, calling for responsibility and foresight to prevent potential risks to soldiers' lives.
Security matters of such importance should be discussed only within the Cone of Silence, as 'Get Smart' has shown us. Surely technology has improved since then, making this a viable option.
Jeffrey Goldberg's decision to release the Signal chat texts rivals Daniel Ellsberg's release of the top-secret Pentagon Papers in 1971. Both releases unveil the truth behind US war plans.
A mature, real leader would accept responsibility and ensure it does not happen again. However, Trump and his allies are doing the opposite - ensuring it will happen again and again.
It appears that Trump and his administration must be perfect and cannot make any mistakes. The Democrats' attacks following the Signal chat mishap reflect this unrealistic expectation.
