Great shooting, but I dont think news stories of snipers should use their names.

My thought exactly - and they also give his home town. This is a very bad practice....and should be stopped.

We probably have a number of "Islamfacists" in America that might attempt revenge.

I just wrote the Marine Corps site that was the source of the message telling them to should stop giving names, rank and hometowns of their fighters that take out the enemy.

We know there are islamofacists in the US that might seek to do the Marine, or his family, harm. The public praise is deserved but they should use ficticious names and home towns. (Could be they did in this case - but they evidently showed his picture also. Not smart!)
