I'm particularly annoyed that knowledge about others in the group made it into the paper.
Really annoyed.
She was "outed" some time ago. I was even able to email her some words of support.
The reason the word militia has an 'unpleasant connotation' is because emotionally loaded 'poison buzzwords' are a favorite tactic of the "Anti 2nd Ammendment" people and their media..
They promote the idea that a 'well regulated militia' is something other than what the Constitution says it is..or what American history says 'the militia' was...
The anti Constitution anti freedom commie moles.. have decided to define who the 2nd ammendment applies to....and it isnt 'we the people' btw...at least in their lexicon....
This 'terrorist' Ryan is a complete moron...he was posting quite a bit on busy gun forum for a year or so and was always sympathetic to the muslims and rabidly anti American...he was especially anti Christian and anti Israel... He is punk and so was so open I can believe he wasnt a suspect all along..he also stated that he had just joined the guards.....I dont believe he was competent enough to be a 'real terrorist'..let alone allowed to 'drive' a tank (a tank of a hand held weed sprayer maybe) He is was a wannabe muslim terrorists...a type of 'Taliban' Johnnie ...only about half as bright imo
Chances are he'll get a "tsk-tsk" from the bench, busted a rank or two, and/or dishonorably discharged. I'd prefer jail time for the traitor. I guess we'll see soon enough.
He wants an Islamic life. Give it to him.
Sounds like made for tv movie material. What a great group of patriots, wonder how they got together and if they are expanding membership?
Tells the terrorists that for every one they i8dentify, there's more hiding in the background. They have been compromised.
Rossmiller — petite, blond and 34 — assumes one of several unlikely false identities, all angry, violent, Muslim men, nurturing hatred of the United States. In that guise, she combs the Internet through the late evening and early morning and sifts through the messages and declarations on extremist Islamic Web sites.
During those hours, Rossmiller is on a quest that consumes hours of each day, days of each week. It’s one that will place her on the stand Thursday as the government’s primary witness against a National Guardsman accused of offering information to help Muslim extremists kill U.S. troops.
It’s a quest that has already placed her in danger.
Rossmiller works with an exclusive group, a coalition of seven civilians, international "cyber spies" who chase terrorists on the Internet.
Columnist Michelle Malkin has some questions on her blog about why this brave woman's cover has been blown, first by the courts, and second by the Chronicle. To be fair to the Chronicle, this is not the first time Rossmiller's story has been told.
There are also a couple of updates at the end of Malkin's blog post, including some thoughts from Andrew McCarthy, a former chief assistant US attorney. He places the blame on our "generous due process standards."
From the Michelle Malkin blog (I advise that those who are interested, read her whole article http://michellemalkin.com/archives/000179.htm )
Okay, here are my questions: This woman and her colleagues are amazing patriots. But why wasn't her identity concealed in court? And why did the Chronicle decide to endanger her even further? As much as I was glad to read the story, it seems to me that the publicity may deter other citizens from undertaking similar efforts--the opposite of what the government would want. Or maybe not...
Thought you might be interested...

We only protect the identities of women who have been allegedly raped, and minors who are not being charged as adults. Everyone else gets outed.
It doesn't seem right to me.
A real life "Mary Pat" (ref. Tom Clancy novels). A real "cowgirl."
