"You have Army Publications hosted on your (Secrecy News) website illegally," stated the e-mail, which appeared to be from an Army publications employee Cheryl Clark. "There are only 5 Official Army Publications Sites, and you are not one of them."
The e-mail stated that Aftergood could link to Army publications but could not host the documents on his own computer. What's more, she noted that the document, while unclassified, was stamped "For Official Use Only," meaning it was "not intended for public release."
"Please remove this publication immediately or further action will be taken," the e-mail concluded.
Unclassified government documents generally are not restricted in their use under law and are considered publicly owned. While it may be a violation of Army rules to disclose the internal document, Aftergood -- a civilian -- is not bound by those rules.
