Original Article: Browne under fire over Navy stories

This article explains how the Defense Secretary Des Browne didn't shut these servicemen/servicewoman up before they let out their stories to the public. This information could have included weaknesses in our military, but the head of the armed forces didnt do anything until damage was potentially available to the public media.

While it is true that top Navy authorities should be held responsible from allowing the story to be published, the individual servicemen and women fully knew that their stories would gather much public attention or insight on how the military is run when they were being negotiated or released from Iran. This is no different than if one of our military personnel was to indirectly explain to the enemy how defenseless our military system is at what points.

It is also irresponsible to treat this as a money issue and not as a security issue. Some want to claim that the Navy members want to make a few bucks off of a serious armed forces incident. Who cares? If they made 5 cents or retired on 8 billion dollars, it wouldn't matter.

What I'm personally aware of is that this will become an issue on whether the media should be limited to asking for such information. It was never the media's fault... they just wrote it down to continue their business... the servicemen releasing security info should be held under traitorous penalties. People giving security info like this should be legally kicked out of this country, with no citizenship rights or legal ties to the USA.
