\nSECDEF<\/em><\/p>\n

For too long, instances of unauthorized disclosures of national security information have gone uninvestigated at the DoD. @SecDef is committed to aggressively pursuing parties responsible for any leaks and will refer them to law enforcement for criminal prosecution. Efforts to subvert @POTUS command of our Armed Forces, to endanger the lives of our warfighters, or to harm our national security will not be tolerated. ACCOUNTABILITY IS BACK.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Launches Investigation into Leaks of Sensitive and Classified Information<\/h3>\n

\nThe Department of Defense over the weekend announced an investigation into leaks of sensitive and classified information, following a series of unauthorized disclosures of classified information and other sensitive information to several legacy news media outlets.<\/p>\n

A memo signed by Pentagon Chief of Staff Joe Kasper asked the Director of Defense Intelligence to lead the investigation, noting that polygraph tests would take place \u201cin accordance with applicable law and policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investigation will commence immediately and culminate in a report to the Secretary of Defense. The report will include a complete record of unauthorized disclosures within the Department of Defense and recommendations to improve such efforts. I expect to be informed immediately if this effort results in information identifying a party responsible for an unauthorized disclosure, and that such information will be referred to the appropriate criminal law enforcement entity for criminal prosecution,\u201d Kasper said in the memo, signed March 21.

OK, polygraphs have a use I suppose, intimidation if nothing else. Either submit to an arcane analysis of inadmissible evidence or, what? Send them to SERE?
