Rumsfeld orders .mil Web lockdown
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-01-16

U.S. defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld this week directed the armed service to strip military Web sites of information that could benefit adversaries, citing a terrorist training manual and a year-long review of the Department of Defense's 700-gigabyte Web presence.

I am a real retired USAF member who worked on red teams. There is an abundance of information in public sources. You want to know where all the USAF planes are, check out your local library. No need to surf the web, a British company will send you the information via the mail. Check out the next BRAC hearings in congress. That’s base re-alignment and closure for those who don’t know. They contain a ton of information, if you can stay awake.

It is important to remember that the Department of Defense it the largest organization in the free world. It will never get an A+ at anything it does, except maybe killing people. Computer security, network security, operational security and all the other security disciplines have a weak link, humans. Get rid of the weakest link and you get rid of the problem, not in our lifetime.

Base web servers are required to have all information approved by the public affairs office prior to being placed on the web. This basic information provides a valuable service to the military members, their dependents, and the public, whos taxes paid of it.

9/11 made many changes in America. Most occurred in congress where they gave away your right to privacy with the stroke of a pen. Unfortunately, like 9/11, most Americans will not realize it until its too late.
