Ok, I'll say it one last time. If you are publishing info and then blacking out what was published, YOU ARE AN IDIOT. Because what you blacked out obviously has already been seen by someone.

Did I say publish manuevers? I believe I said if you do you are an idiot.

Look the cold hard facts of war is that the enemy knows a hell of a lot more than you can EVER make public. To say differently and to assume they don't is arrogant and suicidal. In times of war it is ALWAYS necessary to overestimate your enemy.... if you want to win with the fewest casualties and as quickly as possible. So giving names and locations and how people died, is not classified. The enemy already knows. If you publish top secret information and decide to black things out, the why the fuck did you print it and make it public in the first place???????

Like I said before, chances are the enemy knows who was killed, his social security number, rank and next of kin before their families do. Sorry, but I am entitled to know what my country is doing, who is dying in combat, where they fought and how many were injured. That was information that was pretty much given in every war before this one, why is this such a secretive war if we are winning it?

The great thing about this country is WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT AND DUTY TO HOLD OUR GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE. Don't like it move somewhere censorship is ok. But then the question is why do you feel the need to publish something then black it out?????? What are you hiding, that was ok to print and make public then decided to say "nope sorry ..."

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
