In terms of news stories, why do we continue to share what perhaps should not be shared with the entire world (which also means the enemy)?
Case in point, yesterday's piece on MRAPs, Controversy over military vehicles for Iraq heats up, by Renee Schoof with McClatchy Newspapers. (MRAP, as I recently explained in a piece for The Washington Times, is a U.S. Defense Department acronym for the Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicle design that soldiers want and contractors are bidding on to build in great numbers. It is not, as Senator Joe Biden described it, a Humvee with a V-shaped thing. But thats another story.) . Schoof's story on MRAPs was actually good: Perhaps too good far more information than what needs to be getting out there.

Without a doubt our MSM give out ridiculous amounts of information (deliberately) which supports our enemies....
The Times story was not only specific about unprotected areas of the body perceptively protected by existing body armor, but it featured a color graphic, illustrating exactly where bullets and shrapnel had bypassed the armor and killed Marines.
Who is retarded?
The media who actually prints this stuff? Maybe, they are so retarded they can not tell what the enemy could or couldn't use against us?
Maybe the people who release this kinda stuff to the media? Maybe they are so retarded they don't know that the media is retarded too?
Maybe, we the people? Maybe we are retarded because we don't make a big stink about this kind of stuff.
And speaking of a big stink, below is a public service announcement:
