See What You Share
A guy, who calls himself "Glen," has created a site called "See What You Share" that is filled with images that he has found on peer-to-peer file sharing networks like Gnutella. Many of the images were taken (apparently) by U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
Glen has also found classified documents on the networks as well. Here is an excerpt from his "Why this site exists?" page:
"A few months ago, I downloaded some military briefings from the Gnutella Network. The briefings were zipped and the file contained 21 documents with classifications ranging from For Official Use Only to Secret/NO FORN. Shocked at my discovery, I notified an agency on a nearby military installation. When nothing happened, I notified another agency. I continued this course because no action was taken and for a nation at war, I was concerned for the safety of our soldiers."
And speaking of our soldiers, I am certain that the families (and significant others) of these three will be beaming with pride when they learn how they spend their free time in the desert.
