This whole episode reminds me of the contoversy surrounding the music industry's (failed) attempts to stop pirated music on the internet through litigation. This problem is going to persist in the digital age. Legitimate or not, that Iraq-deployed MI soldier had grievances about the war effort. That tells me somewhere in the chain of command between his immediate supervisor and the President, there is serious miscommunication about the justifications and methods of the war. It also tells me that the government and the Army need to improve how they sell what they do, not only to the population, but also to the people working for them. The MI soldier was a specialist, but he had access to thousands of documents. Either the government needs to ensure that its personnel are politically reliable, or it needs to embark on policies with greater concensus in the ranks and the population. In the arguments about domestic surveillance, proponents sometimes state that if you are not breaking the law, you have nothing to worry about. If our cause is just, and our people and soldiers believe in it, then what do we have to worry about?
