The White Peril 白禍

Okinawa Gov. Keiichi Inamine on Thursday gave broad agreement to a government plan to relocate the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station to Camp Schwab's coastal area as part of plans to realign U.S. bases in Japan.

...

Inamine, however, stressed he had yet to fully approve the government plan, saying, "There is no change in the basic stance." He then said, "I'd like to make efforts to incorporate the prefecture's concerns in the discussion process with the central government," indicating the prefecture would again ask the central government to build a temporary heliport at Camp Schwab as a measure to alleviate the dangers connected with the Futenma base until the relocation is completed.

...

Inamine initially opposed the government plan, but changed his position as he judged that it would be better to push the prefecture's demand for government subsidies and development programs ahead of Cabinet approval, sources said.

Instructional materials related to a surface-to-ship guided missile (the SSM-1) in the possession of the Ground Self-Defense Force were leaded over the Internet, it was learned on 12 April. The leak was reported to have occurred through file-sharing software called Share. The position of the GSDF's Ground Staff Office is that "no information that would cause security problems to arise was included."

...

Included in the instructional materials were a system summary, information related to launch preparations, and the locations of deployed personnel units. Information with an impact on security, such as the range of the missile, was reported not to have been included.

The SDF is getting together a plan to prevent the recurrence [of such a leak], having just suffered the leak of classified information through file-sharing software such as Wini in April.
