Korean situation article, and the security problems it creates

As a military intelligence professional, I can tell you that if I were a North Korean intel analyst, I'd have a field day with this article. I learned the number of troops and artillery pieces on the island and their present tactical limitations, the civilian situation, the domestic political situation and discontent, U.S. and South Korean intentions, and present security actions, with more waiting for a second reading.
 
Think about this the next time you read an expose' in the Lamestream Media or on Wikileaks. About 80 percent of intelligence gathering comes from such unclassified sources. That 80 percent is enough to get troops killed and countries and ...freedom endangered.

Now, what was someone saying about "freedom of the press"?
