Obama Administration Accidentally Posts Sensitive Nuclear Data Online

The Obama administration accidentally posted sensitive nuclear data online. The document in question was 266 pages and marked "highly confidential". Almost all the pages were stamped "highly confidential safeguards sensitive". Despite that, Obama has stated that while the information is sensitive it was not classified. Even if it was not actually classified, which considering the way some of the information is describe maybe it should have been, there is still no reason we should compile it to hand our enemy a virtual play book. This is at best a rather embarrassing mistake and and worst a serious breach of security.
