I always hate these shows when they basically lay out targets for Al Queda. Now granted, a terrorist who is trying ot take down the country might think of these things, but some of these things might not even be on their radar until they see it on TV. Like they just discussed that there are only 5K people trained to operate the Nuclear power facilities. So rather than trying to take out a facility, now they might just think, well we just need to take out these people and it’s a whole lot easier to take them out in their homes than in a heavily armed and secure Nuke Site.
We give terrorists too much credit sometimes. There are not rooms full of Cobra scientists and military strategists coming up with targets and a war strategy to take things down, they’re looking at major targets that get them the most terror for the buck. We continue to feed them with new intel and new ideas, why should they spend money on coming up with ideas when The History Channel, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and Hollywood are doing the work for you.
We new Germans were looking for subs in WW2, but we didn’t show them what kind of weapons worked best, where to hit it, and their traditional lines of travel. I say let’s leave some Easter Eggs in these broadcast with tempting MIS-information, laying traps, not creatign open doors.
I hear you. Another negative is the price of stuff is driven up.
I’ve said the same thing to my husband. The same with the Military Channel. I know no Top Secret things are shown, but I can’t see how giving any kind of intel out through television is beneficial, especially in the times we live.
