"In a similar warning, college students considering careers with the federal government received an e-mail this week warning against reviewing classified information posted by the document-sharing Web site. Career counselors at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs urged students not to post links to the documents or make comments on social media Web sites, including Facebook or Twitter."

At first it seems really stupid that you shouldn't be able to see documents everybody else can see, but it's really just bureaucratic rules about classified documents on unclassified computer systems.

WTF. Are they also banning viewing the NY Times and all hojillion papers that are reprinting the information? You can't talk about freely available information with other people? The hell.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Jennifer: It's not that they can't read the information; it's that the documents themselves are classified and they're just not allowed on unclassified government computers until they've been officially declassified. Being published in the NYT does not automatically make information declassified.
