Encryption does not Conceal the Obvious. If you send an encrypted message and immediately afterward a global increase in alert level with assorted particular activities happens then anyone watching and listening now has a clue to some part of your encryption. This may have been a reason or an element of a reason for sending it in clear. There are others, at least one of which is remarked on overleaf. Midgley (talk) 00:29, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
- In this case, the only reason to send the message in the clear was to send a single message: that the US was fully ready to act in case war. Yes, our codes and frequencies were probably blown that day. The US has never hidden its nuclear war-fighting capability, whether on the ground, on the sea, or in the air. General Power let everyone know it could be unleashed if the Soviets misplayed. The crisis was then solved. Best wishes!Learner001 (talk) 16:01, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
