Classified bump. Agreed, we need to keep our eyes open and our mouths shut right now. Most posters who post such information are doing it harmlessly and out of the curiosity and excitement of the moment; but such posts could endanger investigations and lives. Remember, most freepers would never do anything to harm our servicemen and women, or those who are investigating this heinous crime. Rather than flaming the poster (and leaving the potentially damaging post up longer) we need to make the moderators aware of any blatantly dangerous posts.

I'm not advocating playing "forum master" here, I'm just saying that a heads-up to the moderators might save lives. Let the moderators know, and let them make the call...

We can also hit abuse to notify the moderators when we find a post. The last one I put a warning on not to post after hitting abuse. They pulled it immediately and probably would have without my abuse call -- I just didn't want to take a chance. I agree with you that most posters that give information about the military don't understand how dangerous it could be.

Excellent point, dandelion!!! It bears repeating.

Well said. I agree with you 1000%.
