I am just a wife and mother who saw a tv article by pbs about a reporter who was able to walk into places that should have been secure to say the least. After looking on the internet i am shocked
by the things you can find on here. If I could find it im sure a terrorist could. Don’t get me wrong i am not critisizing you for this. It has made me more aware of things that I did not know.
I think more americans should get there heads out of ther butts and do more to protect ourselves. It doesn’t look like the government is doing such a great job after all.

Break your LONG comments into paragraphs. It’s easier to read.

Yeah, everyone should just relax. First off, this information was already available to the public via the FAS and NRDC. Secondly, there is no way that Google would be authorized to release this information without first vetting it with US government authorities. Thirdly, any terrorist worth a grain of salt is going to have access to superior intelligence than Google Earth. What might be compromising is George Tirebiter’s comment regarding actual operational details at Nellis AFB. Why someone would criticize the release of purportedly “sensitive” material while confirming its validity is beyond me. There are much bigger threats to national security than google earth, the FAS, or the NRDC. So please, just relax. The people that handle these things are professionals, that’s why they have their jobs and you have yours.

I feel that the actions by google showing locations and types of nukes borders on treason. They took the time and effort to do this„ why? Does google want a ribbon? Why doesnt google track the taliban or the insurgents in iraq or tell Israel when the rockets have launched? Do something good for America with your technology instead of betraying sensitive info to the world.
The world doesnt need to know this info.

Hey, there may be some ordinance there or there may not. 10,000 sites may be the real info or not. Where the ordinance is today may not be were it is in the morning. Somebody has the full time job to keep these munitions safe and I’m sure that there is no fear of them letting a public search tool reveal their current and real status.

Why would any terrorist care where our nukes are when they can buy what they want from Iran, India, of the old Soviet states. Note that there were NO nukes in the twin towers.
PS: Note to all you liberal haters out there, free speach also protects your right to hate, as is so obvious in these posts.

okay!!! this is idiotic.…..yes, NATIONS may know where they are at, but terrorists use this type of info overload against us!! now, a smart terrorist would google the nukes and locations. then, he or she would then infiltrate the town, then perhaps kill and commandeer an ID card or whatever to gain access.…..I agree with the above, that tings are secret because they NEED to be secret. SECRETS are so WE can KEEP an EDGE over our ENEMIES, not so we can stiff the American Public. I.E. Boston Tea Party was a SECRET affair/operation. Do you think if the Brits knew about our forefathers secrets, we would be a nation today????? why do you think the terrrorists try sooo hard to keep their operations secret??? not for harm against their so-called people, but so their ENEMIES (WHICH, BY THE WAY FOR YOU LIBERALS OUT THERE, THE ENEMY OF THE TERRORIST IS US!!!) CANNOT gain information and destroy the edge that THEIR SECRETS HOLD!! remember 9/11??? do you think if they did not keep their secrets that situation would have happened?? What this has done, is just put the surrounding citizens of the town or city in jeopardy. you don’t necessarily need to break in full force with a frontal attack, just observe the people working on post!!

I will blame Google. They are for the most part left leaning and any harm that could be done to this country is good. How is it that Google missed all of our nukes abroad? Why don’t you tell people where they are that would be nice. Things are secret because they need to be. In the time of a real war the people at Google that released this information would be jailed. Now the idiot terrorists know where our bombs are and they might just work on a way to get some. If they do I hope San Francisco gets one and not some American city.
