Another example that there are still many who don’t have a clear picture of the seriousness of the war on terror. Leaked information, exposed sources and the release of embargoed stories demonstrates a willful disregard for the safety of the community and the citizens of this country.

Michael Moss of the New York Times has outted Inshallashaheed, the al Qaeda supporting blogger who we’ve been investigating for over a year. I’ve been sitting on his true identity for months, but in one fell swoop Samir ibn Zafar Khan, who lives in Charlotte North Carolina, has been identified.
Thanks a lot to Michael Moss and the New York Times for blowing an ongoing investigation into a known al Qaeda sympathizer who lives here in the United States. I’ve known about this piece for a few weeks and wrote the NY Times to ask Moss not to run it. No reply from the Times.
While we appreciate Moss’s commitment to spreading the word about the Internet Jihad, we really wish he would have consulted with us on the matter. He has a right to out Inshallahshaheed as Samir Khan, but doing so has jeopardized an ongoing investigation into a terror ring which begins in the US and ends in Somalia.
But that’s just like the NY Times, isn’t it? In Moss’s defense, he seems to have asked the FBI if there was an investigation into Khan, and they declined to comment.

T-R-E-A-S-O-N ! Why are actions like this tolerated? During WW2 these people would have been publicly condemed and prosecuted !
treason is not tough enough for this kind of interferance
The Constitution gives us freedom of speech but it doesn’t give us the right to commit treason by giving away secret information. It not only could put our undercover investigators in danger, It could put our whole country in danger of attack by terrorists. We have got to understand we are at war and, as the WWII poster says, “Loose lips sink ships”. Those journalists who reveal secrets should be tried for treason.
If the reporter learned of the matter on his/her own, there is little which can be done. If some leaked the story to them there may be an infraction of the law. Such an infraction would have been commited not by the person working in the media but by the person who shared the story with the reporter. Each and every agency has rules, laws and/or provisions to deal with unauthorized disclosures. Further , in order to control the damage done we could say and act as though we just learned of the matter, therefore not tipping our hand about information or tactics we have learned of. Begining a sloppy and noticeable investigation for a couple months then dropping the obvious methodes could even bring the target back to his usual routine.
In the constitution it says this is punishable by death.
