Is there any defense for the use of the Signal app to discuss war plans for the US military attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen March 15? The Trump White House so far has reacted primarily by attacking Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic for accepting an invite on Signal from national security advisor Mike Waltz to tune in for the planning on the messaging app, instead of holding the meeting in a sensitive compartmentalized information facility (SCIF) as is required for military actions that place our troops in harm’s way.
