| ISIS Urges Supporters To Kill 100 U.S. Military Personnel On 'Hacked' Hit List |
| 2015-03-22 |
| [Rooters] Islamic State has posted online what it says are the names, U.S. addresses and photos of 100 American military service members, and called upon its "brothers residing in America" to kill them. The Pentagon said after the information was posted on the Internet that it was investigating the matter. "I can't confirm the validity of the information, but we are looking into it," a U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Saturday. "We always encourage our personnel to exercise appropriate OPSEC (operations security) and force protection procedures," the official added. No comment from Ambassador Chris Stevens or anyone at Foggy Bottom. In the posting, a group referring to itself as the "Islamic State Hacking Division" wrote in English that it had hacked several military servers, databases and emails and made public the information on 100 members of the U.S. military so that "lone wolf" attackers can kill them. The New York Times reported that it did not look like the information had been hacked from U.S. government servers and quoted an unnamed Defense Department official as saying most of the information could be found in public records, residential address search sites and social media. |

| #7 The U.S. also interred over 10,000 German nationals during WWII. If we were to declare war on (radical) Islam, as they have on us, we could inter the troublemakers. Seems extreme, but that's what the U.S. did in WWI and WWII. It's what most countries do in time of war. |

| #6 Sigh. Shades of being stationed in Greece and Spain in the 1980s. Never wear your uniform off-base, hide your base pass, don't wear items of clothing with identifiable military logos or insignia, or have such on your luggage, et cetera, et center. OTO - looking to pull a home-invasion murder in Texas is liable to prove ... interesting. Seriously, though - I can think of better means for a lone-wolf jihadi to target individual US military members, and I am certain most other Rantburgundians can as well, but I'm not going to say so here and give the mooks ideas they haven't thought of yet. |

| #5 With less technical means available and no one in the community to assist them at the time, are you starting to understand why in Dec '41 they started to move certain communities to detention centers from the West Coast (where two specific locations were responsible for 90 percent of all aircraft production in the US). Remember they were at least reading the Japanese diplomatic code/traffic which according to material declassified in 1995 , the staffs indicated sympathizers in that commmunity (see - Marching Orders). |
