I read your request.

You said don't post "sensitive military information". While you did make somewhat of an attempt to define that term, I've seen multiple instances where where the examples your provided (unit identification, troop strengths, etc.,) have been released on public media. In fact, in many cases, the media have been relying upon public information releases passed out by the military. Clearly, this information falls within your definition of "sensitive military information".

Quite frankly, it is absurd to censor information that has already been transmitted by radio, televison, or other forms of the media. Do you not think that Iraqi intelligence watches CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc? Do you really think Iraqi intelligence would give much confidence to an anonymous poster with an obscure freerepublic screename as a source of vital intelligence? We can only hope that they would be reduced to such levels.

Taken at face value, your request would mean that no information or debate on Operation Enduring Freedom or the impending War on Iraq may be posted or discussed. I'm sure that is not your intent, but I'm sure you realize that most freepers have not the foggiest idea of what might be considered sensitive information. Are you planning on posting a classification guide for them? IF so, what will the classification of that guide be?
