Incompetence: Accidentally including a reporter in a commercial Signal app thread that included military attack plans is glaring incompetence.

SignalGate: Whatever your politics may be, it’s hard to disagree with the assertion that accidentally including a reporter in a commercial Signal app thread that included military attack plans and classified information is a glaring example of incompetence. 

Revelations came out about how top Trump administration officials carried out a highly sensitive and detailed discussion about a military attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen on a commercial messaging app chat that inadvertently included the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg. The agrecious misstep has been the butt of several jokes, but this is no laughing matter. 

For those who have loved ones in the military, it should make your blood boil to think that the secretary of defense, the vice president, the national security adviser and other top officials were sharing sensitive military details in a commercial text messaging app that easily could have been compromised. The fact that they accidentally included a journalist in the chat just shows how careless they were.
