VIRGINIA BEACH — Finding a Navy SEAL in this city should be easy. This is where hundreds of America’s most elite warriors are based. This is where their heroic exploits are celebrated and retold, especially since a team of Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden in a bold raid on the al-Qaeda mastermind’s Pakistani hideout.
But finding a real, active-duty SEAL in this beach resort — not to mention one of the 20 or so members of SEAL Team 6 who swept into bin Laden’s compound early this month — is like chasing echoes in a fun house.

It’s wise not to be too nosy in some places, however, because asking too many questions about the SEALs raises alarms. At Hot Tuna Bar & Grill on Shore Drive, no one on staff wanted to talk with a journalist about their SEAL customers. When a young woman in a bachelorette party started talking about how five or six SEALs had visited the place on Cinco de Mayo, a manager rushed over to expel the reporter.

As if on cue, a couple eavesdropping from the next table butt in. They want to see some press credentials.
Except to say that they are military and have unspecified security clearances, neither the buzz-cut young man nor his date wants to identify themselves. But the young woman, her eyes locked on like radar, suggests that al-Qaeda terrorists might pose as journalists to find out what brand of floor cleaner the restaurant uses, obtain an identical container and fill it with a deadly biological agent.

Loose lips sink ships.
I thought I saw him having dinner with Heidi Klum last night.
I agree. This link should be deleted.
If AQ does decide to kill some SEALs, chances are they will kill a lot of fake ones. There are 10X more fake SEALs than real ones and the fakes ones love to talk.
I am willing to wager that “finding” a Navy SEAL who doesn’t want to be found would be the finder’s last act on Earth.

After the practical repeal of “Stolen Valor” that may not be all that bad...
(just sayin’)

WAPO is bigger and more well known than FR.
Why would AQ go after SEAL’s when they can go after the innocent and helpless?
A friend of mine is military medical and he says you can spot the SEALs because they don’t look military. Which means you can’t.
ditto. and love your tagline
If it were up to me, I wouldn’t talk to ANY media type.
THEY are not your friends.
OPSEC is your friend...I know that the families receive OPSEC training as well, but they need more protection and care, they do not think OPSEC 24/7 like the SEALs do.
It’s a matter of time before the media gets duped by some clown claiming to be a SEAL team 6 member. Maybe that will shut them up.
