  Why broadcast possible targets?  11:50 PM, Sep. 5, 2013  | 
Comments   • Filed Under  Whatever happened to "loose lips sink
ships"? Anyone who served in the U.S. Navy since 1941, and
probably before, has heard that phrase a hundred times.  As crew
members of the USS Intrepid, my shipmates and I were strongly
urged, under threat of serious disciplinary action, not to speak
of the ship's movement, aircraft, armament or capabilities, to
anyone, especially in foreign ports of call. Even discussing
these topics in public amongst ourselves was frowned upon, lest
we be overheard.  I understand that today most of this
information is available online, but does the media really have
to broadcast the CIC's (Combat Information Center) "battle plan"
or the possible targets that might be in our gun sights? Why do
we have to aid and abet the enemy?  Richard L. Mills   Real
