Politico: Spy chiefs look to declassify intel after rare plea from 4-star commanders
Top military leaders said the U.S. is falling behind China and Russia in the information war.
America’s top spies say they are looking for ways to declassify and release more intelligence about adversaries’ bad behavior, after a group of four-star military commanders sent a rare and urgent plea asking for help in the information war against Russia and China.
A host of troubling actions from those two countries — including efforts to damage America’s relationships with allies and to violate other countries’ sovereignty — mean the Intelligence Community must do more to show the world what Russia and China are doing, according to the commanders.
The memo from nine regional military commanders last year implored spy agencies to give them more evidence they can make public as a way to combat "pernicious conduct."

WNU Editor: Where were these Generals when many were calling for the declassification of all intelligence files pertaining to Russia-Gate during the Trump administration? Where were these Generals when many were calling for the release behind the intelligence that claimed Russia meddled in the 2016 and 2020 U.S. elections? Where are they with big tech censoring opinions and cancelling accounts that hold views that they disagree with.
They were and are out of sight and nowhere to be seen.
And now they are raising the alarm that Russia and China are better at shaping global opinion than the U.S. ?!?!?!?
This paragraph from Politico best sums it up ....
.... This battle of ideas is viewed as only widening. In a new threat assessment published this month, the DNI highlighted the aggressive campaigns by both Russia and China to shape global public opinion.
The information war has been going on for as long as I can remember. It looks like the Pentagon now wants to be a major player in it.
