Work at the data from the other direction. Start from the guy who has some explosives and some people to plant it, but is looking for a target.

This list provides him the raw data to find the easiest target for his particular teem, gear and location.

Worse yet, for those talking about the perils of security throgh obscurity. Dose America have the resources to fully protect 200+ facilities around the world?

How much less will be left for Medicaid if they spend that much on this mission?

The news story I saw (over on BBC) mentioned an anti-venom site in Australia. If you know how this stuff is made, then you would also know how vulnerable such a facility is and how difficult to secure.

I.e. It's basically a zoo and a Vet station with a little lab attached and a dozen clones of Steve Erwin on staff.

We occasionally listen to music by characters facing some pretty serious charges. Some of them have even been convicted. And that's just music. Helping someone leak information that you want, may still be a good idea, even if for an unrelated reason you want that guy locked away.

After yesterday's leak, they may as well dump the whole shebang. IMHO: "A list of stuff that people can blow up if they want to screw with us", is something that legitimately deserves to be hidden from everyone but the guy dispatching people to guard that stuff.

That so many of these assets are important to other countries, compounds the danger.

What Ambassadors have to say about the Government's that host them? Bring it on. Back door deals on how to cover up embarrassing events? OK. Private communications that conflict directly with what was said publicly by the same people? lovely.

Just go easy on the target lists.

The technology can't be all that interesting considering that the device in the picture is bigger than my "TomTom". And my commercial GPS had to make additional room for a touch screen and battery. Why wasn't the FBI device seriously tiny?

Unless it's like those giant pieces of Armor some ancient army discarded to intimidate the enemy? I.e. This was a not so subtle hint that: "We are watching you so you better not try any $#!!7"
