AT&T is more than just a telco company, they are also a content provider. See: U-Verse

No, what I am saying is that the fact that they are sensitive is not a valid reason to keep them secret and that attempting to follow that logic only encourages more misbehavior.

The secrets themselves put lives at risk, you are using the "You can't shoot at me because I'm using school children as human shields" defense, sorry but it doesn't track.

Nor does it mean that he can't.

ING was recently acquired by Citigroup. The princess being married into the family of pigs. I don't expect her to remain quite as pristine and proper as she was.

The only secrets that could start conflicts are the ones that shouldn't exist in the first place. Just because something gives 'your people' an advantage in life doesn't make it right or good.

And you've yet to prove a reason why they should exist in the first place. Or why if these things were so important they weren't protected better. Or why we should encourage more of them to be created by acting as if simply speaking of them is high treason.
