Any OPSEC folks here?
Our intelligence community is encouraging these web sites in an effort to identify those who publish and visit them.
Many sites have been "pulled" after pressure from the local community only to be reinstated after a request from the feds.
Is there standard protocol at Freerepublic on how potentially sensitive security information can be passed on to appropriate authorities?
Anyone home? Happy 4th to all of you and God Bless America.
Yes, it gets extremely irritating when you're researching the enemy, and find their site has been pulled...it's ALSO irritating when you're trying to make a point and link to a source....then find out the source no longer exists.
"Al-sakhar's" attitude toward this country can be summed up in the "f**k USA" under the photo of Ground Zero.

Until recently US intelligence agencies were prohibited from gathering certain domestic intelligence. As a result we as a country knew more about "foreign terror" outside the US than inside.
Today we're playing catch up and desperately trying to build a domestic data base. One of the quickest ways to develop that data base is to allow these web sites to exist and track who publishes them and who frequents them.
So keep visiting as many of these sites as you can find and one day the ubiquitous "Acme Plumbing" truck will be parked outside your residence.
