The Brits have also been critical of us for releasing too much information about captured terrorists, and their associated equipment and documents. We all know that the Administration is in a tight spot: media scrutiny of every mistake, bogus claims that we're "losing" the WOT. But sometimes you have to measure the short term political gain of publicizing a big capture against the potential for future damage to our enemies if the information is withheld (and acted upon later). Are we going to kill the goose that could continue to lay "golden eggs" of intel down the road?
