Yes COMSEC means COMunications SECurity, however, anything deemed Unclassified means just that: there is no information contained therein that poses any detriment to National Security should it be widely disseminated. I am intimately familiar with security protocols and security classifications, what really frightens me about that document is the very fact that it was unclassified, even if it was marked for Official Use Only.

Such measures, memos, etc. are very unnerving due to the simple fact that once peaceful legitimate protests are classed as being the work of "domestic terrorists," a veritable Pandora's Box is opened.

U/FOUO means, UNCLASSIFIED, FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY, HINT HINT.


This is an unsecured website, who knows who views the posts here. It is obvious Mr. Rutherford doesn't understand what COMSEC means, it means, COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY.

Mr. Bell, I totally agree with you BUT once its leaked to Google, Yahoo and every other search engine it is fair game and is public domain.

Just like the DHS Report.

If I had a docunent that had infact NOT been leaked and posted it here with (U//FOUO) that would be a different story.

Of course the true lunacy of this is that the folks at tea parties LOVE the military and police agencies for the most part. It's the leftist who would likely become violent or damage military property. But our new "government" is trying to put us in a bad light, and they have the power to do it.
Actually, I'm armed everywhere I go. I have a concealed permit, and I carry 100% of the time. I think everyone should be trained and carry to protect themselves. I carry in church. If some kook pops in to kill folks going to church, and it has happened; I find it pathetic to think no one could defend themselves. There's an old saying, " when seconds count, remember, the police are just a few minutes away". I'll protect me and mine myself, thanks.

Why should anyone here be suprised that the MD NG was put on alert? As Liberal as MD is no telling what the local NG Commanders were told to expect? From what I have seen and read, there were NO reports of violence at ANY of the tea parties, guess the Left failed this time.

This is worrisome. One needs to think back to the founding of our country. What if our founding fathers weren't inclined to stand up for their rights? Now we have more incentive...our descendants!! They need protecting. So do the unborn. We are living in times where our government has sanctioned the killing of the unborn in at any time during gestation. This may be the very thing that authors the demise of America.

Think of who humanity might have missed due to the plethora of abortions.
--a cure for AIDS in the late eighties;
--a leader who leads America off the track of it's war mentality;
-- a generation of ethical bankers and legislators;
-- a cancer specialist who has helped nerves regrow after spinal injuries;
-- numerous mechanical devices to aid those who are paralyzed;
-- an ethical banking leadership
--more ethical representatives in our House and Senate;
-- a cure for Swine flu, lyme disease, and other respiratory diseases;
-- a universal vaccine for our times now;
-- a leader within the US who believed in disclosure that we may not be alone in the universe.

the ideas keep piling up.

Warmly ~
Mary
