The Trump Administration deserves criticism for inadvertently including the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic on the group chat regarding possible military strike details. Clearly a rookie mistake by national security advisor Mike Waltz that should never have happened, especially the use of a commercial app on personal phones for national-security conversations. But the real question is: If this was such an egregious breach of national security, why, then, did the Atlantic publish the entire meeting verbatim? THAT is the real breach of security. They could have simply reported on the mistake, kept the details private, and not put U.S. assets at risk.
