Proposal: NSA Code of Conduct

[Drugged Monkeys]

If *I* were the prosecutor (which I note that I am not, currently) and I was worried about a specific case, I would argue that the treason is complete and proven upon a showing that there was classified information, that the defendant possessed that information, and the defendant caused it to be delivered into unfriendly hands, and that, accordingly, the exact content of that information is not an element of the offense that need be proven in the prosecution so long as a showing of classification can be made (IE, identify the general type of information -- IE list of planned military actions and assignment of of personnel to participate).

 
True. When the case arises, the actual information does not need to be shared per say.
 

Ok, I still think the jump to Captain just looks like a massive jump, it makes it seem like the lower ranks are unconnected to the upper ones...a bit too caste.  I mean don't the limited number of Generals already make it clear that the upper levels are higher up and separated?   It should look connected in some fashion, or it will look as if there is an military aristocracy that doesn't connect to the lower ranks...which always leads to ruin...or Milo's...  Just state that there are limited numbers of each rank - with smooth ranking names of any type-, and lay the numbers out at some point to make it clear the power structure is defined.   Just my stupid opinion though...lowly private here

 
I really don't see this as an issue. If people find it unconnecting, we can always just make it Rank 1, 2 ,3 4, 5. The visual look of it makes no difference as long as it is defined somewhere. I do plan on making a list of how many of each position will be allowed compared to the amount of each other rank
