but these are documents from 2004-2009. they aren't operational plans. they're information pertaining to the conduct of operations in the past. there was a request made to dod to help edit them in order to minimize any relation to ongoing operations or harm to people who are potentially involved in current operations. dod refused. that is a problem.

i dont think the leaks would have happened at all were the information more recent.

so if you put that aside, the concern about ongoing operations--or if you accept the idea that the links to ongoing operations that remain are there in part because dod refused to assist with preventing them from being released....where's the problem?
