US Army commander warns blogs are a security risk
WEBSITE called the Project on Government Secrecy claimed to have published a memo sent to all army leaders cautioning personnel not to file information that could be used against soldiers by the enemy.

According to Secrecy News, General Peter J. Schoomaker said some soldiers were posting sensitive matters to websites and blogs, revealing tactics, techniques, procedures and vulnerabilities.

Schoomaker said, according to Secrecy News, that "the enemy is actively searching the unclassified networks for information... the enemy is a pro at exploiting our OPSEC vulnerabilities."

Commanders of troops were told that the enemy would exploit sensitive photographs. "Get the word out and focus on this issue now," he said. "I expect to see immediate improvement." The message is here.
