Emailing Military Secrets

It sounds like Ahsan was spreading his brand of terror across the board. The most damaging info. according to the article, was that which he obtained via email http://www.essentialsecurity.com/Documents/article15.htm:

"Ahsan corresponded via e-mail with a U.S. Navy enlistee and obtained then-classified plans of a naval battle group operating in the Straits of Hormuz, between Iran and the United Arab Emirates, which also discussed "the Naval Group's vulnerabilities to terrorist attack."

Again, the military needs to be better at locking down its secrets.

Wasn't security supposed to be getting better after 9/11? Why is it that an obvious communication tool like email is not being regulated by our gov??
