Former British Defense Secretary Sir Ben Wallace told lawmakers on Tuesday that he would not have supported the use of a secret gag order to cover up a catastrophic Afghan data breach. The breach potentially endangered thousands of Afghans who had assisted British forces against the Taliban. Wallace stated that he had instead ordered the use of a time-limited injunction to protect the affected individuals.
