I was appalled at this article, giving the name, hometown and personal details of these special forces snipers. The left is complaining about the leak of the identity of a former undercover CIA agent, who was very free with the information, herself. Please respond to the author (from NY Times) as well as the Seattle PI. I think that the article may have run in other papers under a different title, as well.

I would have withheld the personal information in my post, but I saw no reason to do that since it has already been printed in numerous large newspapers. If the moderators think otherwise, I would appreciate the editing.

The article is making the rounds. Was posted at least one time yesterday, and cited as also appearing in the New York Times.

I share your concerns about giving out personal details relating to the soldiers, but unless I miss my guess, the soldiers gave an open press briefing, including those details.
