Patterico,

Of course, I understand it. However, please do not assume that our guys on the ground get the information as rapidly as the bad guys. They need to be notified directly ASAP. Meanwhile, we need to do what we can to limit the probability that the bad guy will get the info in time to make use of it.

Time–it all about time.

Paul,

I appreciate the sentiment; I really do. But you can’t put the lid back on Pandora’s box. The cat’s out of the bag and the genie is out of the bottle. Pick any other metaphor you like, but there’s no reversing it — and that was already the case when I put up the links, or I never would have put them up in the first place.

Patterico,

Please delete all links to the classified (yes it seems that it is classified) information. I have reported the matter to the FBI and Centcom. Centcom is aware of the problem.

This is time sensitive. Let’s give the good guys time to protect out troops from their goof.

Yeah, this one’s genius, especially since this has happened to redacted PDF documents before.

Here’s one of the unredacted documents

Here’s another

Have fun kids.

If you download the PDF, you can simply copy and paste the content into word and read the whole thing. The redaction was done by changing the background color to match the foreground color. THis works much better with hardcopy where that is irreversible than with electronic text.

You can now skip the process and download the unredacted version from the /. users, though there is nothing really new in the unredacted file.
