Vast Troves of Classified Info Undermine National Security

Avril Haines, President Biden’s director of national intelligence, said “the U.S. intelligence community’s approach to classifying vast amounts of information is so flawed that it harms national security and diminishes public trust in government,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Said Haines: “It is my view that deficiencies in the current classification system undermine our national security, as well as critical democratic objectives, by impeding our ability to share information in a timely manner.”
