It's open source, man.	Big front page article in the
Corpus Christi newspaper, DoD press release about Task
Force Ironhorse, everything.

I can't say where we're going, but it's been known for
some time that the 3rd ID is in Kuwait, and that the
US just promised Turkey $4 Billion to accept 30K
troops for offensive actions. . . 

Hell, there's exactally one pass from Anatolia into
Iraq and that's obvious to anyone who reads a map.

OPSEC is all well and good, but enough stuff is open
source documentation that some of the worries are a
little silly.  

For instance:  We got told not to mention our
commander's name to the press, as this was OPSEC
violation.  My question as to when they are taking
down the batallion website
http://www.hood.army.mil/4id_1stbde/ENG299FRAME.HTM
which contains our BN CDR and CSM biographies was
considered to be "smartass".
