‘Moron’ terrorist takes a selfie in front of ISIS headquarters, Air Force bombs it 22 hours later
Yahoo Tech ^ | 6/5/15 | Yoni Heisler

Apparently, looks can kill. In a very real story that we assure you did not originate from The Onion, a terrorist from ISIS recently took a selfie of himself and posted it online.

Shortly thereafter, U.S. Intelligence, which heavily monitors social media accounts from ISIS members and supporters, managed to pinpoint an ISIS headquarters building in Syria by using the selfie photo as a reference point.

The morons in this story aren’t ISIS

Its so nice to see the media give advice to the enemy

Wunderbar!...... do it again morons!

I don’t blame the press I blame the Obama administration.

You don’t tell the press how you acquired the location of your enemies secret hideout.

It is called SECURITY OF INFORMATION ON INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS

It is spelled out in National Security Council Intelligence Directive No. 11 .

As high info voter put it “Wunderbar!...... do it again morons!”

Well they are less likely to do something similar if they find out that really bad things happen when they do.

Now they know that we are carefully monitoring social media sights that their followers use. So what might they do? Maybe they will lop of the hands of people who use social media without authorization.

The Obama Administration is so anxious to have something positive to say in the media that they are compromising Intelligence sources and methods. Grow up you idiots and start leading like you care about the survival of your country!

Exact;y what I was thinking.

Now they can NOT give away their position via background OR use background they'd like us to take out -

Idiots...

or maybe a deliberate heads up to the enemy? We seem to've been doing a lot of that -

I agree, the press found this out from US officials (0bama’s and/or military).

The press couldn’t find a dog turd in an empty coffee cup by themselves.

I’m sure they were given a heads up first so they could clear out.

Especially not if that particular dog was Obama.

****Agreed. This is just our Government trying to take credit for doing something competent - at the expense of taking on the enemy. Either that, or our Muslim in the White House is warning his compadres not to do this again.****

...OR this is all BS, no ISIS Headquarters were hit. Just more smoke and mirrors from this Administration.

Social media is how ISIS recruits.

Maybe a bomb and a little information leak will reduce the number of future jihadists.

Ah, and here I thought the morons were the ones releasing a source of stupidity that’s now plugged, one way or another.

There’s that photo of an AA missile that broke loose from a carrier landing, passing by a flight deck crewman or two.

What moron in the U.S. military decided to reveal the “kill a selfie” tactic?

Score one for the USAF. However, I think all out carpet bombing of ISIS areas might be the only answer for an air campaign to defeat them. The shock and awe of a B-52 strike sending scores of ISIS fighters to their death might be more effective than taking them out one at a time.
