Security breach? FREEPER reports on Bush in Baghdad as it was happening!!

[wndycty]

I think its funny that someone was reporting this event as it was happening from Baghdad, so much for "tight" security. They make the reporters take the batteries out of their cell phones, but they don't take the computers from the Freepers. . .

President Bush secretly landed an hour ago and is currently eating Thanksgiving dinner at my undisclosed location. Anticipate a press release after he takes off.

You can understand the need to keep the exact location unpublished.

1. and we know this post to be factual...?

[PaDUer]

3. I saw that thread..

on freepville...It appears that someone sent that thread to someone in high places that very day it was posted..If you read that thread, that freeper reported it and had a lot of responses..however, that person only wrote one more comment since the original post. The other freepers were PO'd because he divulged his location. Apparently, some freeper turned his ass in..If you read that thread, you can clearly see how obsessed they are as a group because of their fearless leader, lol, spooning out the dinner..Ya right! We know the facts that it was just another photo-op..

[wndycty]

5. I think that is a story then. . .

. . .security is so tight that they can't even stop someone from posting a thread on the visit. . .I think this is pretty newsworthy.

[PaDUer]

9. Absolutely..

DO you know any reporters, or, make a call and copy/print the thread out so it's NOT deleted by a lurking freeper and notifying the mods after reading this thread.

[wndycty]

11. Can someone save that thread. . .

:kick:

[PaDUer]

14. Here's all the posts that the "ChiefKujo"

made on * appearance, and also pertinent info while in Iraq! This guy is unbelievable.

here he says--
The President landed in a Gulfstream at BIAP, not in the 747.

15. I like this one. . .notice the dates. . .

Nope, still here and not under arrest.

For the record, the admin was correct in pulling the thread as some competent Freeper was able to piece-together a general location from previous posts. However, the specific location could not have been determined, even with the clues I left.

Additionally, the secrecy was so great that people guarding the mess hall didn't even know who was inside--even after he left and took off.

I had no prior knowledge of his visit other than the generic word given out that there would be a "special guest" attending the dinner. I was outside the building and heard a roar so loud, it shook the place. It was then that I put the clues together. When I got back to work and, after considering the implications, the timing, security situation, and the level of detail to announce, went with the post.

and this one

He openly speculated that Bush was coming as a "special guest"

On News/Activism 11/26/2003 8:02 AM PST #32 of 37

Yes, it's true.

It will be here, on Baghdad Int'l Airport for Thanksgiving Dinner along with that jerk from RI, (Reede I think it is).

We must attempt to contain the BOOs.

Also just learned that we'll be having a suprise guest. We think it maybe X42, but aren't sure.

ChiefKujo

[janx]

27. That last one refers to Senator Clinton--hence the disrespectful

use of the pronoun "it."

If you go back to FR, to that thread, you can see that he's answering someone about Senator Clinton's visit to Iraq.

[dpibel]

30. But Here's Why

Note that in the 8:02 a.m. post he says:

1. "We must attempt to contain the BOOS. And

2. "We think it maybe X42."

Dig: Bush is (nominally) Pres. #43

Two reasons this guy can't be referring to the Fierce Warrior Chieftain: Wrong number, and it would never occur to a freeper that someone might boo the great man.

QED: The army freeper thought that one or the other of the Clintons was going to be the guest, and thought breaching security would be just the neatest thing. What better way to rid the world of the great scourge?

[Military Brat]

33. ... landed in a Gulfstream at BIAP, not in the 747

Wait a minute, hold on here. Is this an update on the freeper's post? That contradicts the "nail-biting" story about the British pilot who thought he spotted Air Force One, a 747. If in fact it was a Gulfstream, how the hell could a pilot mistake it for Air Force One?

"The first phase of his clandestine Thanksgiving journey went without a hitch, but his cover was nearly blown hours later when a British Airways pilot looked out of his cockpit and saw a familiar blue-and-white Boeing 747 soaring over the Atlantic at more than 660 mph. ''Did I just see Air Force One?'' the stunned pilot asked over the radio. After a long silence, Air Force Col. Mark Tillman, the presidential pilot, replied innocuously, ''Gulfstream 5.'' ''Oh,'' the British Airways pilot answered, dropping the issue.
http://newstrove.com/cgi-bin/search.pl?search=andrew+luster&title=Andrew+Luster&category=miscellaneous&alias=andrewluster

:wtf:

Edit: Pilots do not respond with identification of their airplane; a pilot would have simply responded "Negative," and left it at that. In fact, it would be up to the Air Control Center to respond, if they heard the radio address, not the pilot. This whole story about being spotted by a Brit pilot is BOGUS.

[wndycty]

34. hmmmmm

:kick:

[maggrwaggr]

40. the story about the British pilot is a lie

they created to be part of the "myth" about this "courageous" "mission" to the war zone.

[Beaker]

44. I doubt he took a Gulfstream from Texas to Baghdad-

AF1 was probably used to get to Kuwait or Qatar, and then the gulfstream to Baghdad.
There wouldn't have been enough room in a gulfstream for * to nap comfortably to/from the middle east.

[PaDUer]

45. Of course it's bogus..

the media is being spoonfed these stories as ordered..they've succeeded in BS'ing the people since 2000 and get away with it, why should they change their tune now..It's time the people stand up to this corruptness and deceit.

[wndycty]

2. I am not sure how to check the times. . .

. . .but the funny thing is if it is factual somebody should get in trouble don't you think. Security was supposed to be tight. Look at the restrictions they placed on the reporters and some guy runs to the internet cafe at the airport and posts on Free Republic. When you think about it, I would assume that fellow Freepers would have known that they poster was in Baghdad. Its pretty stupid if you ask me.

[alfredo]

4. contact the secret service.

show them the security breech.

[wndycty]

6. Someone should call attention to this. . .

. . .I think he shows that security was not as tight as they said it was. Think about the reporters who will be pissed that they were scooped by a freakin freeper.

[ShaneGR]

7. Looks like a soldier with computer access

Talk about stupid.

[wndycty]

8. Not only stupid but. . .

. . .once he posted that the press had no obligation to honor the embargo. The press was scooped by a Freeper and played by the White House! Sad, very sad.

[tritsofme]

10. From what I've gathered,

the freaks are proud of their "breaking news"

It makes them feel as if they are the world's premier news outfit.

How ironic is it that they were jeopardizing the safety of their beloved chimp?

[wndycty]

16. Like I said. . .

. . .the press might want to know that they were scooped by a Freeper.

[Spazito]

12. I wonder if the media will pick this breach up, I hope so!

*

[wndycty]

13. With our help they might. . .

:kick:

[maggrwaggr]

17. this is juicy!

:kick:

somebody alert the media!

[wndycty]

18. So you think we are on to something/

:kick:

[prolesunited]

22. DEFINITELY on to something BIG!

I agree with a poster up thread that it had to have been a soldier. Seems to me he would be in a whole heap of trouble for such a security breach.


Question is how to get the word out. Anyone have any ties with prominent bloggers so it starts getting legs. Seems the national media would be interested in such a scoop as well. Anybody got ties there?

[maggrwaggr]

24. look at his other posts. The guy's squealing like a pig

I'm sure his superiors would be quite interested to know he's divulging all this military info to a freaking public website.

The guy needs to be shut down, at the very least for the security of his fellow soldiers. You know, the good ones who don't deserve to be blown up?

[PaDUer]

19. Lot more juicy info..

on this Chief...click on the link provided above, and read what else he has to say..there's pages of threads that he's commented on. He's been in the military 22yrs..

[wndycty]

21. He openly speculated about Shrubs visit before it happened. . .

. . .it appears everyone knows there was going to be a surprise guest, I wonder how the press did not find out.

[prolesunited]

29. 22 years!?!?!

I was thinking it was some young, dumb eager beaver. He certainly has been around long enough to know better.

[PaDUer]

31. Here's where he says how long he's been in the military..

For the last 22 years I've been in the Army, I get weather reports from my parents.
Sometimes, that's the only thing they call to talk about, and I've lived this story thru them for the last several weeks.
I hope I can hear them talk about the weather in NYC for the next 22 years.


Also, I posted the url for the other links where his mouth runs away on many threads..
There's pages of threads that he posted on..

[maggrwaggr]

20. I just sent a tip to the FBI

You can to to the fbi webpage at fbi.gov and there's a button for "submit a tip" on the side.

Seriously, this was just wrong and stupid of this guy. He needs to be shut down.

My dad was an Army officer and I hate to think of all the good men and women that were put in danger by this fuckwad.

[wndycty]

23. I am not sure if this is a legal issue as much of it is a press issue. . .

. . .they were blacked out and those who participated obey an embargo. I am not sure if this is a legal issue, but if the FBI wants to do something about it--so be it!

[maggrwaggr]

25. well it's definitely a security issue, and a pretty big one

If I'm reading about this in my office in Santa Monica, anybody can be reading about this. Anybody can now go onto freerepublic and start a dialogue with this guy.

It's pretty awful.

[wndycty]

26. Like a terrorist. . .

. . .hmmm

[maggrwaggr]

28. for whatever it's worth, here's how you can contact the Wash Post

[e-mail]

I just sent 'em a note, but I think the more the merrier. :)

[travisleit01]

35. DONE

Sent a note to the Wash. Post, and also submitted a tip on the FBIs website. SUPPORT THE TROOPS my ass. Good way to get them killed!

[travisleit01]

37. WTF?

I email the FBI and I get the following response about all those "I have $12 million I need you to deposit from the Sultan of Booga Booga" emails! I feel protected!

THIS IS NOT AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE

Thank you for your submission of information via
the FBI.Gov Web site. Inasmuch as the FBI
receives reports of this type of activity on a
regular basis there is no need to forward any such
additional emails to the FBI.

A review of the information you provided revealed
that you are being approached over the Internet to
participate in one of many variations of an
advance fee scheme being perpetrated by
individuals from various West African nations,
particularly Nigeria. Victims have lost
substantial funds in the past and all requests for
travel to foreign locations should be ignored.
The United States Secret Service (USSS) has
developed an excellent, detailed description of
this fraud scheme, which can be accessed at
http://www.secretservice.gov/alert419.shtml. If
you have been victimized by one of these schemes,
please forward appropriate written documentation
to the USSS, Financial Crimes Division, 950 H

page with family and friends. Your continued
cooperation in this and other matters is greatly
appreciated.

You do not need to forward the emails to us.
Also, if you know that you are receiving Spam

your email address will be validated by the sender
even if you don?t reply to the email.

For your information, the Internet Tip Line (ITL)
was created on 9/11/01, in response to the
terrorist attacks upon America. We quickly
established a mechanism for the public to submit
information to the FBI via the Internet, and we
received our first tip at 10:31 AM that first day.
Director Mueller has since made the ITL a
permanent part of FBI
operations, and we have thus far received over
700,000 tips from around the globe, from which
thousands of leads have been sent to FBI Field and
Legal Attaché offices for action.

Initially, almost 100% of the tips received were
related to the terrorist attacks; however, now
approximately 45% of all tips received are related
to almost every other FBI criminal program, e.g.,
drug trafficking, organized crime, money
laundering, pyramid schemes, child pornography,
fugitives, bank robbery.

Our operation is completely automated and
paperless. Submitted tips are received
immediately, reviewed within minutes and
prioritized by trained Professional Support
personnel, and action leads are set by Agents
within the hour, as appropriate.

I encourage you to share this information with
your family, friends, and co-workers, and
encourage them to not hesitate to submit
information they may deem of interest to the FBI.
Again, thank you for taking the time to forward
this report to us.

I clicked on that thread Thursday, before the story had even broken and the guy had the location in his profile as Iraq. A search of all his posts made that unmistakenly clear. This security breach occured with the knowledge of the Admin who obliged by simply pulling the 1-2 posts where people had already pieced Bush's location together and wiping the guy's profile.

A MAJOR SECURITY BREACH that ENDANGERED the lives of OUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OVER THERE and those idiots are laughing! It's a damn good thing no terrorists were lurking on their stupid board! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

They think we don't have family over there! As if we aren't worried sick about our loved ones or the soldiers some of us trained when we were in the Military. How heartless and thoughtless they are!

Talk about a bunch of idiots! They should be ashamed of themselves and RIGHT NOW thanking God that they and their cowboy President didn't get our boys killed and start a major catastrophe!
To my new Chigago posting friend with a nephew over there, I am glad the Good Lord protected that fine-looking young man despite the stupidity of that chimp and his band of laughing hyenas!

That said, there's still a little good and I'm encouraged that a few responsible Republicans over there have already complained to the proper authorities.

Meanwhile 10,000 troops killed, wounded and injured! Thank you Freepers.

Toll on U.S. troops in Iraq grows as wounded rolls approach 10,000
BY ROGER ROY
The Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO, Fla. - (KRT) - Nearly 10,000 U.S. troops have been killed, wounded, injured or become ill enough to require evacuation from Iraq since the war began, the equivalent of almost one Army division, according to the Pentagon.

Unlike the more than 2,800 American fighting men and women logged by the Defense Department as killed and wounded by weapons in Iraq, the numbers of injured and sick have been more difficult to track, leading critics to accuse the military of under-reporting casualty numbers.

Military officials deny they are fudging the numbers. But the latest figures show that 9,675 U.S. troops have been killed, wounded, injured such as in accidents, or become sick enough to require airlifting out of Iraq.

<snip>

The number of sick and injured is almost certainly substantially higher, because the figures provided by the military last week include totals only through Oct. 30.

39. Kick

:kick:

[grasswire]

42. here are the facts

The freeper posted the info about 7:30 a.m. pacific standard time leaking Bush's location. This long-time freeper is assigned to Baghdad airport.

Other freepers mocked the info, but shortly after 8 a.m. PST, the thread was pulled and held in limbo.

Shortly after 9 a.m., after Bush was in the air returning home, the thread was restored. The freeper made a couple of other posts, including the one stating that Bush arrived in a Gulfstream, not on AF1.

Yesterday, I tipped off American Politics Journal to this security breach, and they have been running the headline and link since then. I also posted the info in several threads on DU.

It is serious. If al Queda had been monitoring freerepublic, Bush's location was exposed to them. He had to fly out to get out. He was exposed, despite unprecedented personal security.

Why didn't the base secure internet connections? All this other subterfuge and a GI blows his location wide open.
