Pentagon reviewing communications following Hoekstra trip disclosure

While Rep. Peter Hoekstra would like people to believe that only partisan Democrats would be in any way concerned about his disclosure of details about a Congressional delegation to Iraq that was supposed to be kept secret, the Pentagon is concerned enough about the incident to prompt a review of their communication policies in order to keep it from happening again:

The Pentagon is reviewing its communications with lawmakers traveling to war zones following a senior member’s disclosures about a delegation trip to Iraq and Afghanistan…

Hoekstra has been criticized publicly by liberal bloggers and privately by Republican aides and others familiar with security protocols for such trips. Although what Hoekstra disclosed was not classified, questions arose about his discretion in handling sensitive information.

A Defense Department spokesman, Navy Cdr. Darryn James, said Tuesday the Pentagon’s policy is to withhold itineraries until congressional delegations reach their destinations inside war zones. The House sergeant at arms and House Armed Services Committee echoed that concern in separate statements Tuesday.

But remember, only you silly liberals could possibly be concerned about this. There’s nothing to see here, move along, move along.
