Shaken, not stupid
My wife is smarter than I am and thinks social networking is mostly a stupid distraction. Other wives think social networking is the greatest thing ever — and in terms of brains? Don’t ask!:
The wife of the new head of Britain’s spy agency has posted pictures of her husband, family and friends on Internet networking site Facebook, details which could compromise security, a newspaper said on Sunday.
Sir John Sawers is due to take over as head of the Secret Intelligence Service in November. The SIS, popularly known as MI6, is Britain’s global intelligence-gathering organization.
In what the Mail on Sunday called an “extraordinary lapse,” the new spy chief’s wife, Lady Shelley Sawers, posted family pictures and exposed details of where the couple live and take their holidays and who their friends and relatives are.
This is in the category of check-the-date-and-make-sure-it’’s-not-an-April-Fools-story. (You have that category, don’t you?) It’s brought to you by the people who gave you Kim Philby and all that lot, in which the movie MI6 looks and performs immensely smarter than the real world one.
The “intelligence” community (yes, apt, isn’t it?) should be grateful Lady Shelley was flushed out before she could drag the free world down with her husband’s career!

I just think someone has to be really really stupid to do that. Even me, I dont like posting my life in webpages, my personal stories… but is already clear, dont do that with politics, famous people, rich people… as long as you dont want to ruin them.
