This certainly sounds like a substantial security breach. However, I also wonder if, to a second level, this has been exploited to misdirect. Could somebody have been aware of this, and in REALLY-black sites, they carefully protect against such inadvertent disclosures? Or, perhaps, fake the existence of non-existent "sites" that the military wants to pretend to have? A physical honey-pot Jim Bell
