Could someone enlighten me as to the benefit of classifying this info other than to cover the asses of those involved?

And this is NOT a partisan issue. It's a beuracracy run amok issue which is most assuredly bi-partisan.

Wow...this is really f'd up.

Quote

Edmonds says that to her amazement, from the day she started the job, she was told repeatedly by one of her supervisors that there was no urgency - that she should take longer to translate documents so that the department would appear overworked and understaffed. That way, it would receive a larger budget for the next year.

“We were told by our supervisors that this was the great opportunity for asking for increased budget and asking for more translators,” says Edmonds. “And in order to do that, don't do the work and let the documents pile up so we can show it and say that we need more translators and expand the department.”

Edmonds says that the supervisor, in an effort to slow her down, went so far as to erase completed translations from her FBI computer after she'd left work for the day.

Bureaucracy run amok is the "unpartisan" subject. Neither party will touch it, because both major parties contribute to it. Each works at expanding one half of the government, so we have the entire thing getting bigger and bigger.

More than likely a classification to cover some asses. Sometimes though, with classifications, it's not the nature of the letter but what is in it that could point to something classified somewhere else. Say, a job position that is not general knowledge that is pointed out anong with the person's name. Also, the letter could have been classified due to it being part of a batch of letters where one letter has classified info on.

But the more i think of it, this looks so much like a cover up
