Why are they blurring out his face now? His face has already been published.

Because OPSEC is like a slider switch, not a two-pole switch.

In WWII, both the breaking of the Japanese naval code and the function of Los Alamos and the name of its director were published in American newspapers.

Once.

Fortunately, nobody succumbed to the logic you describe, which is plausible on first glance, since it errs on the side of our free speech traditions.

I think this paper is doing its part to preserve this heroic man’s anonymity. Will it work? Probably not, but it’s worth a try.

Yes it wasn't blurred out before. That man standing in the background with the rose-colored shirt is a photog. He is shown in a picture I saw, Id'ed as a journo, carrying out a wounded victim.

A NYT photog, Fisk, just happened to be next door picking up some framed pictures. He jumped into action and was allowed to follow the Kenyan police around all day.

I might as well say it. There is an Australian, Lowy, who owns lots of Westgate Malls in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and some in Asia. His son is in charge of the American Westgate Malls. Lowy and Silverstein were partners when the WTC went down and collected all that insurance.

Lowy or American Westgate has plans drawn up for a beautiful new mall on the WTC site. All I can find about the Kenyan Westgate is that is owned by Israelis which may not be true, and many owned shops in the mall. May be only a rumor but it all started in a coffee shop owned by an Israeli.

Now that I read floors have collapsed, even without that, there will be a huge insurance claim I would wager. I doubt they will leave that one standing. It was a beautiful mall, nicer than a lot of ours.

I remember seeing that pic and the caption said he was saving his family, as if the woman and young girl were his wife and daughter Early reports are always so messed up, it takes a few days for the real facts and the real story to emerge.

Yes it has. But this photo is in much wider distribution with an acknowledgement of his being SAS.

Also, not a lot of press being given to the Brit women determined to be behind all this bloodshed.

This, IMO, deserves much publicity. Some reports have her as DOA;but the truth is not known at the moment.
