>>For the second time in a year, Army leaders have sent a strong warning to all commanders that soldiers are continuing to post sensitive information on Web sites that "the enemy reads and exploits" for use against U.S. forces.

The August memo was headlined "Chief of Staff of the Army OPSEC (Operational Security) Guidance." In it, Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker demanded that everyone Army-wide do a better job at training soldiers and policing operational security violations that "needlessly place lives at risk and degrade the effectiveness of our operations."

The Army chief's unclassified memo specified the Internet postings of such sensitive information as "photos depicting weapon system vulnerabilities, and tactics, techniques and procedures." <<

Of course, no soldier in his right mind is going to post sensitive information as "photos depicting weapon system vulnerabilities, and tactics, techniques and procedures" but since they can't police everyone, the best anti-terrorism measure would be just to close down the internet. One can see where all this is leading and there's no doubt that they are going to try something but what it is I can't say? Freedom of speech is completely anathema to these guys.
