So what would be compromised, its not like they were putting the PDB into the mix.

How in the hell would I know? I'm no more privy to facts on this than you are, meaning neither one of us knows jack shit.

Because I don't know what is going on, I'm not buying into any ruling-class conspiracies YET (but I can already tell that makes me the pariah on this thread).

No it doesn't a good amount of skepticism is needed occasionally.

But I remember a story about a 3rd AD 2nd Lt. that used open source material to compile his unit's history, showed it to his CO who in turn showed it to his CO.

That CO showed it to brigade and then Division, some where along the line it got classified, and early example of open source data mining.

This may actually be what has happened.

But I believe more in the idiocy of the powers that be more than a conspiracy.
