RAF LAKENHEATH, England — The Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations is warning airmen to exercise caution when using the popular Internet social networking site MySpace.com.

The warning comes after OSI Special Agent Ryan Amedure investigated several airmen who were solicited “specific information” via MySpace.com about RAF Lakenheath in the past several months.

“There are people out there who are trying to target military personnel for information,” Amedure said. “The fact that this has happened a number of times in such a short period is what concerned us.”

As a result of the increased popularity of MySpace.com, OSI agents check the site for incriminating information, (Special Agent Jared) Whittenberg said.

1. This is disgusting...

Time was when a spy wold actually have to get into town and buy a sailor/airman/soldier a drink to get sensitive information... Or lat least go to Wal-Mart. Now all they have to do is go online and email someone.

What happened to pride in a days work?
