Let’s not give them any ideas…

: I’m all for transparency and sharing information.

But I’m still pretty damned hinky about sharing it with terrorists.

The NY Times today has a story on a report about terrorist scenarios that goes into detail about what weapon could kill how many where. The report was meant to scare security officials; that’s fine. It ended up on a web site accidentally; well, that happens. But now it’s on the front page of The Times with a handy-dandy terror graphic.

Was it really necessary to go into that level of detail? Was it helpful? Could it be harmful?
