On November 14, 1940, the German Luftwaffe launched a massive bombing attack on Coventry.\u00a0 Over 60,000 buildings were destroyed.<\/p>\n

It has long been rumored that Winston Churchill knew about the bombing in advance because British Intelligence had broken the German code.\u00a0 There were over 300,000 people living in Coventry, yet there was no attempt to beef up defense or even evacuate the city.\u00a0 Some people believe that Winston Church allowed this to happen because he felt that it was more important to not let Germany know Britain had broken their code.<\/p>\n

The Battle of Midway was won in large part because Navy cryptographers had broken parts of the Japanese Naval code.\u00a0 They alerted Admiral Nimitz of the plan by Japan to invade Midway.\u00a0 The U.S. victory at Midway turned the tide in the Pacific War.<\/p>\n

These are two examples of why signals intelligence is so important.\u00a0 When I was attached to the NSA we were reminded that the most vital information to protect is the information \u201cwhat we know about the other side.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 Everyone knows that both sides are spying on each other.\u00a0 That is not news.\u00a0 Both the Germany and the Japan knew our troops were listening to them.\u00a0 What they did not know was what we learned from this intelligence.\u00a0 They did not know that their codes have been compromised.<\/p>\n

This is why it really matters that one of the e-mails sent on a private server belonging to Hillary Clinton contained SI or signals intelligence.\u00a0 If Hillary allowed our enemies to learn what we know about them that would do incalculable damage to national security.\u00a0 That is why most people charged with failure to protect signals intelligence end up in jail.\u00a0 This is not a minor problem.\u00a0 It is not a partisan witch hunt.\u00a0 It is far more important than that.\u00a0 Just ask the people who were in Coventry in November 1949.<\/p>\n
