I thought that even in the days of Thomas Jefferson we had the means to encode diplomatic communications? Didn't Jefferson develop an encoding device?

If John Kerry or any other person is using unencrypted messaging for anything beyond very basic routine messages that I believe would be an error.

Was careful what he wrote in his emails because he considered the POSSIBILITY that they could be hacked. Given that there have been hacks, this is merely prudent.

There are more secure ways to send thinks that are sensitive or classified.

Our government spies on everyone, including allies and citizens. Does Kerry think I should be outraged that others are doing it to him? Please. Stand up for the rest of us and we might give a shit.
