Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President

 

By William H. McRaven

Dear Mr. President:

 

Former CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revoked on Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him.

 

Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.

 

Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs.

 

A good leader tries to embody the best qualities of his or her organization. A good leader sets the example for others to follow. A good leader always puts the welfare of others before himself or herself.

Another one (dont think it was already mentionned here)

 

A German passenger jet was forced to land in Greece on Thursday after reporting a bomb threat.

 

Condor Airways confirmed to DW that flight DE69 from Egypt's Hurghada to Dusseldorf made an unscheduled landing at Chania, on the island of Greece, for safety reasons.

 

"The reason why the aircraft had to divert was a safety measure that had to be executed at Chania airport. On board were 273 passengers. The aircraft has landed safely and deboarded normally," a Condor spokesperson told DW.

 

Condor would not confirm a bomb threat triggered the manoeuver, but DW has confirmation this was the case.

 

Aircraft tracking websites showed Condor Flight DE69 was diverted to Chania airport after two hours in the air.

 

The passengers will spend the night in hotels before resuming their journey on Friday.
