It's so secret, we don't even protect it. 'Cause we'd have to explain what needs protecting...

A recent GAO report has found that DoD has omitted many of its most sensitive assets from critical infrastructure protection planning because they are too secret to be identified.

While Defense Critical Infrasctructure Protection Planning covers all critical assets that are classified as "Secret" or "Top Secret", assests classified as 'Sensitive Compartmented Information' or 'Special Access Programs' have not been included as part of DoD's 'critical infrastructure'.

The Defense Intelligence Agency, for example, has withheld a list of over 80 critical assets because they are SCI and the infrastructure protection program is not equipped to receive such information.

"Unless critical SCI and SAP assets are identified and prioritized, DOD will lack sufficient information to assure the availability of the department’s most critical assets," the report states.

Reportedly, the Pentagon has agreed that critical SCI and SAP assets should be incorporated in infrastructure protection.

Defense Critical Infrastructure: DOD’s Risk Analysis of Its Critical Infrastructure Omits Highly Sensitive Assets

We really should just clearly identify and list all of those secret locations with secret programs, along with geocoded addresses and possibly attach Google maps so we have true transparency in the DoD. Excellent.

Maybe in your version of critical infrastructure protection planning.

Or, maybe DoD staff finally wised up and just didn't give the GAO the list, since the GAO just likes to publish everything...

I KNEW they were hiding the Stargate out there somewhere!
