Balancing the Need To Know
Camp Lancer Weblog is challenged by two kinds of need to know: public concerns and private concerns. As a concerned citizen, you come here for stories that help you understand the nature of our soldiers work. And that's a good thing. But in the balance between transparency -- making things clear -- and operational security -- OPSEC -- opsec weighs heaviest, as it should.
We are in a global war on terrorism. The terrorists -- people who work to keep their people disconnected from the world community -- could come to this site with a hope to find exploitable information. And that's a bad thing.
We want to know, we need to know. Appropriately, accurately, and timely. Let's figure out how to do that, shall we?

Hi Critt, I certainly don't want those terrorists (and boy I'd like to use a few other choice words) to learn anything from here to benefit them. I am so sickened by the events of today, the brutality, the dark ages these people seem to be stuck in. Are they afraid to come into the 21st century? I can't understand acts that were acceptable in the 1400's being done today in a semi-modern city.They just don't get it...but they will.

I have this very terrible feeling that our powers to be didn't have a really good grip on what Iraq needed after we did the "easy" part. I'm wondering if they could really even had known it would be this complex.
