April 13: NBC's Lisa Myers reports on a security breach at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan involving computer drives that contained sensitive information that were stolen, smuggled and sold.
Nightly News

WASHINGTON - Just outside the main gate of the huge U.S. military base in Bagram, Afghanistan, shopkeepers at a bazaar peddle a range of goods, including computer drives with sensitive — even secret information — stolen from the base.


Some of the data would be valuable to the enemy, including:

Names and personal information for dozens of DOD interrogators;

Documents on an “interrogation support cell” and interrogation methods;

IDs and photos of U.S. troops.

With information like this, “You could cripple our U.S. intelligence collection capability in Afghanistan,” says Francona.

Among the photos of Americans are pictures of individuals who appear to have been tortured and killed, most too graphic to show. NBC News does not know who caused their injuries. The Pentagon would not comment on the photos.

1. dear lord god -- the gang that couldn't shoot straight.

2. Have the numbnuts in military intelligence...

...never heard of encrypting their data? I am absolutely stunned that this kind of sensitive info is sitting around on unsecured harddrives that presumably don't require so much as a password to access.

And the government wants us to trust them with our personal information. Yeah...right.

5. It is CEO thinking. Rule from the top. Look at the bad rulers in history

Republicans think that they are born to rule, or the people in power seem to think that way as I see it. We seem to have a passable gov. when the ave. people rule them self.

7. Don't believe everything you read or hear and all is not as first perceive

The military often uses "bait" and "decoys" in their activities.

3. You know what this means, don't you?

Shopping expedition to Bagram! Time to find out what the Bush administration has been hiding from the American people!

:woohoo:

"WHY do they hate us??!" Americans will ask when the next attack hits.

6. The Whore Media in this country

needs to SHOW pictures of the flag-draped coffins coming home from Iraq & Afghanistan that BushCo does not want the American public to see. Same thing for the Abu Ghraib photos --- as disturbing, sickening and horrifying as they are --- they need to be shown --- perhaps with as much endless repetition as the loop footage of the planes crashing into the Towers ---- then maybe the American people might get a clue. Thanks to BushCo we are now known all over the world (and NOT just in Islamic lands) as torturers (and liars and bullies). If continuously confronted with photographic evidence maybe Congress and the people would act. Sadly, that's a big maybe. The longer we don't act, the sooner the day will come when it will be Americans themselves in the photos --- after Bush declares martial law. And if there is another big terror attack (real or staged) you can bet martial law is not going to be far behind.

8. dons tinfoilhat.....

Amazing how Lisa Meyers (Miss stovepipe for Clinton leaks) high tails it to Afghanistan and just happens to buy flash drives from a bazaar outside the gates of the US Base that contain torture photos and sensitive info.

This supposedly after a hard drive was bought there with sensitive info. :eyes: Lisa and the NBC Investigative team to the rescue... Sounds like she got a "tip" to me. But who was the tip from?
