We got a call Friday from a reader named Paul Redmond that The Post had accidentally published Secretary of Defense Jim Mattiss private cell phone number.
A story about President Trumps bodyguard Keith Schiller, Redmond said, was accompanied by a photograph of the two of them walking on White House grounds. The bodyguard was holding a stack of papers, and, according to the caller, on the outside of those papers was a yellow sticky note that said Jim, Mad Dog, Mattis and had a phone number.
This of course sounds impossible. Way more care than that is taken around the president, right? The Secret Service is good at secrecy, generally. So I thanked the guy for the call and dubiously pulled up the photo in question. With the monitor turned 90 degrees and the photo blown up, indeed, I could make out a number and what might be Jim, Mad Dog, Mattis, if you have better eyesight than mine even when I squint.
I called. I got the voice mail. It was him.
Yes, of course, the presidents bodyguard the guy famous for punching someone outside of Trump Tower, the guy who according to the story has the presidents complete trust is employing the yellow sticky note system of information security.
When you put idiots in charge of the most powerful military force in the world, what could possibly go wrong?
