May 10, 2009, 4:30am (report abuse)Lets just make us deaf and dumb against the actions of our enemy. You think they will give us this information deliberatly or in the time it is needed. These people are willing to die for their cause. In addition, you can get the Army field manual online and read what it does and does not allow. In effect, giving our enemies a training course in how to subvert these techniques and withhold vital information.

Instead of all the hype and sh*t slinging that goes on in washington that only blinds the american people with smoke and mirrors.
