"I would be worried that using this information, the people we are tracking will see what we are looking at and, much more worryingly, what we are not looking at."

Uhhhh.... the real life analogy to the military doing such a thing would be, say..... a guy putting naked pictures of his wife or his tax returns out to the world over an unencrypted website. The reasonable asumption would be that he wanted the world to see his beautiful wife and his exorbitant income. The alternative explanations would be it's not really his wife and/or they're not really his tax returns. Can anyone spell D-I-S-I-N-F-O-R-M-A-T-I-O-N?

It seems to me that the key word of this media release has been overlooked by the most astute here at FR.

"We seem to be transmitting this information potentially straight to our enemies," said one US military intelligence official who was alerted to the leak, adding: "I would be worried that using this information, the people we are tracking will see what we are looking at and, much more worryingly, what we are not looking at.

Hmmmm. What makes anybody think that anything is being ignored? Hmmmmm?

Does anybody really think that issues of national security would be broadcast on satellite for the whole world to see? Either Clintoon has so decrepitated this nations national security assets, or the people in charge are incompetant boobs.

I guess nobody knows diddly-squat about sources and methods and the power of dispensing information of what we do know to the enemy with an eyedropper to force their hand is beyond all of your intellects.

Leave the spook stuff to the spooks for crying out loud. Why don't we just concentrate on real Constitutional issues like gun registration and permits to carry in contrast to what the second ammendment says shall not be infringed?

Really, people...

Shhhhhh... how can disinformation work is everyone knows its disinformation? Unless people will think we are just saying it is disinformation to cover for a mistake in releasing information. But then, they might think we know that they will assume we are covering an erronous release of information with disinformation and decide to tell them that we are using disinformation in the hopes of making them believe its information. In which case we could really let them have information but convince them its disinformation. Oh heck, I don't know if I have disinformation about information or information about disinformation or if I really have real information or if I really have disinformation.

Perhaps this is a ploy to get the goblins to start putting up 7' dishes over their "secret" camps.
