From Colby Buzzell own site that has been talked about recently by Freepers:

NPR (National Public Radio) mentioned this website on its Day To Day show. Here is a link to the article: http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=3867981

Who's the f-ing weirdo that read my MEn In Black post all dramatic? The bus driver from the Simpsons?? WTF?

"I really think it has much less to do with operational security and classified secrets and more to do with American politics and how the war is seen by a public that is getting increasingly shaky about the overall venture," says Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington.

"Think" doesn't do it for me, Mr. O'Hanlon, especially from someone at the Brookings Institute. Show me facts. Or STFU.

When something is happening that you don't like but you can't forcefully stop it, quote OPSEC.

Hastings said the popularity of blogging has increased the chance that soldiers may inadvertently give away information to Internet-savvy enemies.

With the speed of today’s communications, a soldier could inadvertently post information valuable to the enemy - and it would be in their hands literally in minutes. Sensitive information isn’t just weapons capabilities, troop movements and operational plans. It is also damage received, operational response, unit morale etc.. I have read some of each of these already - although very minor in details. With the spread of computer cafes in Iraq the number of service members posting is growing - and some might not be too careful.
