Due to many of the things you pointed out the mere reporting of information to the FedGov has inherent risks. Hasan's colleagues were Army officers and they apparently had concerns along those lines.
So, do you think any of these guys would dare report a missing person/s?
Just curious is all.
No one needs to report to them, they will be reading what we say without that necessity. And we need to be accurate and as professional as possible about it.
Mestamachine has it right, its about keeping in touch with the various aspects he mentioned in his post at #18.
Word on the street, and none of our agencies have the dedicated manpower to get that kind of wide ranging information. In that way we can actually be a resource
they can use in confirming what they might be seeing, or even in taking a closer look.We should not be reporting to them. Doing that may also put them in a difficult position, as well as anyone of us who does so.A reprt might beneeded, but that is an indovidual matter. It should have little to do with us.
Your input is invaluable. Your experience and knowledge is exactly what establishing such a passive information net
needs. This is because there are necessary guidelines on the type of information we need. Local news articles are one. Ot it might be that a Muslim logging operation purchases dynamite for stump removal on their bases. It might be that all the children who live in these training camps have disappeared from school altogether.This is what we need but you would have a much more accurate list of types of needed information than I could possibly imagine.
Seriously, they were concerned citizens, and now wonder what kind of list they might be on and how it might be used.
