Great! Once again ABC news under the shield of "freedom of the press" has hand delivered information that any terrorist would love to have.

Thanks ABC for putting us all in danger.

I appreciate your posting of all of these video clips to go with this report, but do I really have to sit through a commercial before EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM LOADS? A little much don't you think?

Watch as the planes are guided by remote control into the twin towers
Watch as the buildings collapse using demolition charges
Watch as the Neo-Cons use terror to retain power and start WWIII
Watch as Brian Ross ignores the obvious

Once again, ABC sends US security measures to the terrorists in the name of news. Next "exclusive", "ABC has obtained the exact location of personal's desks at U.S. embassies. Click here for the floor plan." Thanks ABC.

why are you publishing this in such detail ? it is nice to know that the government has a plan for dealing with terrorist attacks, but it is disturbing that you present this material so that our enemies can get a hint at our defenses and work to defeat them. reporting the fact that the government has a plan is one thing. revealing it is another.

Golly Brian "Chicken Little" Ross, now we have Sledge Hammers. Say, did you sell the fertilizer from last week story or just spread it around the office at ABC to refill the intelect of your peers?

How about a story of the US Military killing terrorists and how our heros risk their lives to save and protect our?

al-Qaida thanks you for your "exclusive". Now they know a little better how to attack our buildings.

Great job.

Didn't we see that same video on Disovery channel a few years ago?

This is nothing new and all it's shows is we are doing our job to stop terrorists at every stage of a possible attack.

What makes this news? Loose lips sink ships. Get with the program.

Why is this information being made public? Let's just enable the terrorists a little bit more.

Didn't we see that same video on Disovery channel a few years ago?

This is nothing new and all it's shows is we are doing our job to stop terrorists at every stage of a possible attack.

This is just another ridiculous example of the press overstepping its bounds. Why on earth does the American public need to know this? The only possible utility it serves is giving notice to terrorists our our counter-terrorism efforts. This is dispicable.

The commercials to watch these videos are ten times longer than the crash.... don't waste your time.

Besides I can't trust ABC News after that Path to 9/11 thing anyway... shills

Thanks for sharing the secrets! You satan spawns are great!

Praise Allah!

Why the hell do you need to report this? Why would we need to know this? This will only tell the terrorists how we plan to thwart their attacks, thereby giving them opprotunity to counter our plans!

Show some responsibility to the people for a change. Use some COMMON SENSE people.

Practice makes perfect.

Perhaps one needs to ask what value this report has to the average American's understanding of defenses against terrorists VERSUS the value of the article to terrorists planning the most effective ways to overcome the newest American defenses? I think the article more useful to terrorists than to us. So, is this need to know information for Americans or for terrorists? You decide.

And why are we publicizing this? Shouldn't we be keeping these things secret so that our enemies aren't able to keep one step ahead of us?

Come on ABC!

Once again ABC is giving terrorists valuable information on the capabilities of the US to protect our embassies. Doesn't anyone there care that once these miscrents learn what doesn't work, they will attempt to do something else? But then again it is just another example of the depths to which this anti-Bush, liberally biased organization will stoop. No regard to the safety of our troops and State Dept. personel, only a desire to have another attack so they can once again blame Bush for it. Political stupidity above all else, they would never have done something like this in WWII, or if a Democrat were president.

Why don't you give out more ideas to the terrorists.

Dang, you're a real idiot.

What is wrong with ABC? Seems to me that you are secretly wishing for another terrorist attack so that you can make more money selling the news! And you call yourselves the most trusted name in news? The terrorists trust you to tell them our secrets!Shame on you!

Great reporting...if you're on the side of the terrorists! Why don't we just go ahead and tell/show them how to get thru all the barriers we try to set up for protection. In a time of war, do you think this is responsible journalism? Absolutely ricidulous. Just because you have freedom of speech and freedom of the press doesn't mean you have to exercise that right.

EVERYONE knows that 911 is a sham and also the "terror threats" derived from it. Sure there are crazies out there, but come on people, stop being paranoid and continue standing up to our government. The tide is turning now that we know what really happened. If you don't know already, get with the program and just study it!

BTW, the first comment listed above - that's the most ridiculous thing I've read all day.

You guys must be in competition with Al-Jazeera to see who can help the terrorist the most. I think your winning.

Poor American government, how is it suppossed to fight terrorism if its press reveals the secrets of its security measures.

typical abc, anti-american stuff. loose lips sinks ships!

....Rolls over in his grave and wonders why he bothered giving these people freedom when they complain about it.

Are you people idiots? This information has been public for years. I'm pretty sure any terrorist already knows about this.

Reporters are such idiots! Are you trying to help the evil men get better ideas? Are you showing them that their plan to hit a gate with one type of truck won't work so they better try something more destructive? Oh wait no you just want to show us all that you are hard working journalists going to get the story, the dummy part is that terrorists are watching too so I hope they enjoying all your efforts too. Great work Abc maybe with your help now Osama will succeed?

When did Republicans and conservatives turn into such a bunch of cowards? We're far more likely to die in a car wreck than to be killed in an "islamofascist" terror attack, but all the crybabies here can do is whine about how the big bad media is telling the terrorists that the US has bulletproof glass and stronger walls. Grow a pair and get a life!

Need I say more. It sure seems there is a common theme from your audience. Do you get the message or will you continue to report the "news"?

Is everyone working for ABC nuts? Why in the name of God would you post something that terrorists could use to come up with a way of getting around these security measures?

Well, at least now the terrorists won't need to hack into the government archives to get the videos to improve their effectiveness on overcoming US defense strategies.

Above - "The tape also shows the results of tests of promising new technology to protect lives."

These results don't mean anything to the innocents who may lose their lives because of ABC's own lack of intelligence regarding the world war on terror.

I can't believe some of these comments. Do you really think Al Qaeda is gathering its intelligence from ABC News? That they're sitting around their computers, rubbing their hands together, saying, "Ah, yes, now we've got them! We know their secret plans!" and "Damn! Now we can't use a sledge hammer on the windows of the embassy!" Please!

Brian Ross and ABC team, you guys are idiots...thanks for putting all of our lives at risk.

So guys, this is getting old. The fanatics on one side yelling about a conspiracy theory I can debunk on every relevant point and the otherside getting their pants in a bundle because they didn't see this info three years ago on the discovery channel, and for some reason they think terrorists are aided by seeing how inefectual their blasts will be IF they get past the blockaids. They (the terrorists) stoped really caring about that (being effectual in head on attacts against US military and diplomatic targets) long ago when the decided to follow game theory dictates and go after civilians in thirdworld countries and Israel to try and stir up discontent and revolution in place of.

Neither side has legitimate or rational complaints and their just broken record sheeple points, that goes for the conspiracy nut jobs and the 'right wing' simpletons.

Grow up people. abc's not doing anything egregious. Not perfect but not egregious. It got you to the website and got them some ad dollars so if you're so discontented stop visiting their site and commenting on it and acting like you have anything intelligent to say.

Give the journalists a break and keep your inane back and forth to your favorite forums and blogospheres.

When will we all grow up?

To the article's detractors:

Does having a sign in your yard that says "Beware of dog" better enable burglars to circumvent your home security? Does showing that the most commonplace terrorist tactics will no longer work better enable our enemies?

I would recommend a study of crime prevention in order to answer the above questions. This article serves to illustrate a denial of opportunity due to a reduction in terroristic ability. Since the article does nothing to inflame terrorist's desire to cause harm, no damage has been done to our security.

Also, why do all these posts contain the same cadence and grammatical structure? ABC would be wise to display post signatures with their originating IP addresses.

What a great bunch of clips to help the terrorists! Great job. Now move to Pakistan.

With freedom comes responsibility. Like the rest of the treasonous liberals, you have forgotten that.

My count: 20 anti-ABCnews posts (for saying too much); 1 neutral post; 1 moron who thinks 9/11 was a massive govt conspiracy. I think the jury is in: ABC news has failed.

I don't watch ABC anymore.

oh the Neo-Cons...yes...thier numbers must be in the tens of thousands to pull of 9/11 yet no one has blown the wistle on thier conspiracy...please...get a clue...

WHY doesn't ABC report on the REAL truth of 9/11? THERE WAS NO PLANE CRASH AT THE PENTAGON, THERE WAS NOT WRECKAGE; THERE WAS NO PLANE CRASH AT SHANKSVILLE,THERE WAS NO WRECKAGE, AND AGAIN NO BODIES; WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A "ABANDONED UNDERGROUND MINE" WAS A LANDFILL THAT HAD JUST BEEN DUG 2 WKS BEFORE 9/11; THERE WAS PRACTICE "TERRORISTS" ATTACK AT SHANKSVILLE ON 9/11.\\\

The public DESERVES the truth of 9/11 and not this public discloure of "new" terrorist protection; the terroists are in the Whitehouse, they're called "Georgie Porgie and his Gangstas' " go report on THAT! AND you might the extensive reporting on those in NYC on 9/11 and all the crap they breathed while the EPA kept telling everyone the "air is safe to breath." You don't you go find out JUST how many people have died, severely ill and dieing from that crap. That would be a REAL good story. ABC SUCKS!

Do they have Nielsen boxes in Iranistan? ABC NEWS is surely number one! Woo Hoo!

In actuality, I'm glad I block ABC broadcasts in my home (yay V-Chip). I deem that network to be unhealthy for young minds; or, active minds at that!

Why do I get the feeling that most of the above comments were written by the same person?

By the way, with freedom goes responsibility.

Nice job ABC. You're right up there now with the New York Times in aiding and abetting the enemy. You should be tried for treason. Enough already with this sort of 'news'. What happened to responsible journalism?

Dear ABC!!!..As a military Veteran, Your company better pray, now that you have let our enemies know what our country is doing behind the scenes, that we do not have another terroist attack!. American blood will be on ur hands. This is nothing different than telling the enemy exactly where our troops are to be killed!.
the public does not need to know the EXACT details bout what we are doing to combat the enemy. ESPECIALLY the ENEMY!!!

Did someone say propaganda film yet?

First the Path to 9/11 film now this? The commercials are truly the worst part of all.

I agree with everyone here that it was irresponsible for ABC to devulge this information. Unfortunately, the deed is done. The problem is even though we express our opinion, the jerks at ABC will do it again.

Fortunately Al Qaeda will be forced to to sit through a 30 second commercial to watch a 1.5 second clip of a truck hitting a barrier.

So many posters complaining about lose lips N such. Don't you understand that we are all puppets in this gong show political climate? get over watching the terrorst news flashes, get back to your lives and families. Stop listening to both sides propaganda wars. Stop paying attention. What happens will happen. The train is already ROLLING and we are probably tied to the tracks!

I'd comment, but everyone else seems to have said it all! I'm happy that I'm not the only one to see things this way.

ABC...I mean AL Jazera...

Good lord, people, get with the picture. An attack took place yesterday in Damascus. Fortunately no-one was killed except the attackers. Less conveniently, the attack was stopped by the Syrian government - supposedly one of the great sponsors of anti-American attacks in Iraq and elsewhere. So State Department or others in the Administration leaked these videos quickly, to make you think that it was their brilliance that saves lives, and to downplay the fact that the Syrians stopped the attacks. All you war on terrorism bloggers who are dumping on ABC for "breaching security", here's a suggestion: fill out FOI requests to ask whether this is being investigated. Good luck...

Do you also supply arms and muntions to Al Qaeda or simply information on how to attack our interests abroad?

ABC, you guys are morons. Judging from other reader's comments, I can see you are losing viewers. I was an ABC fan because I respected Peter Jennings and found him responsible- you have eroded that trust that he instilled in me for ABC. Your irresponsible reporting of the cocktail bomb ingredients several weeks back, the fertilizer, now this... Your right to freedom of the press stops with putting our lives in danger. If any of these stories are shown to result in an attack, any loss of life is on your hands. It's time for someone to step in and stop this. You guys have families, too- what are you thinking? Do you have no ethical standards? Go to the BBC website and see what real news is. It's back to NBC for me at night- I hope your advertisers are reading THAT.

I wonder if Al Jazeera is posting the latest al qaeda tactics? Lets see a little integrity ABC. (If the press monitors the government, who monitors the press?)

Freedom of the press will be our undoing.... Why not get copies of the Air Marshal Training Videos and mail them directly to HeZbolla and Al Jizira. While your at it see if you can get blueprints of all the buildings in the US Government --- they'd be useful too..... As much as I find it informative to know we can construct better protective devices.... They can find our weaknesses by this same thought process

For some reason - I am not optimistic anymore....

Why do you guys at ABC hate us??!! Why do you want us to lose the war??!! Why do you want more Soldiers to die??!! Don't you guys have ANY common sense at all??!!

Who's side are you on? This information is more valuable to the terrorists than to your average readers. The details provided here have gone too far! Was is not enough to just inform us that they are making progress?! Maybe you are trying to "set up" your next news story.

I agree, abc is should remove this type of content asap. I do understand, abc, that it is anouther way for you to force one more ad in our face.

Can I suggest to all of you people that they were given these tapes INTENTIONALLY by the government? They need to show the people that they're doing something about security before the elections, in case all you can remember is how badly they're screwing up Iraq. If you've paid attention in the past, the administration likes to leak info that makes them look good. Why don't you all worry about how many terrorists Bush and Co. are CREATING with their "renewable enemy program"?

does abc have any spare offices they can lend to al-qeada, this way the information regarding our anti-terroist tactics can be hand delivered,rather then posting on the internet.
you guys are a long way from Ernie Pyle,you seem to think, as one aging interviewer said recently, you're reporters first americans second.

News whores aptly describes ABC. You'll report anything to get the readers' attention regardless of the potential risks to our national security. Have you lost your last shred of common sense??

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

Don't get me wrong, I am all for freedom of the press and I should probably be impressed with the skills of whoever dug this up.....BUT.....what purpose does this serve? Really?

Why not publish a map showing the locations of all the chemical storage facilities that are within a 20 mile radius of population centers???

Does ABC sincerely think that this provides nothing valuable to the terrorists?

I disagree with the NSA Wiretapping story going public too (because I would think that the Bush administration should be prosecuted if we WEREN'T listening to what a known terrorist is saying to someone here), but I understand the uproar. It affects individual privacy rights issues. This story has absolutely no social value. It has only entertainment value. It does however provide valuable information to someone who wants to design a better truck bomb!

ABC should not only be ashamed of themselves, they should be prosecuted........really.

Hey everyone - did you know our government is working on ways to better defend itself? Where is the "story" here? Give me a break. I guess a so-called -"news" story is more important than actually using some common sense. This is why I shun this network.

Thank you so much Al'qada Broadcasting Company for the new info on the walls. We'll be developing new methods to counter that in the near future.

Way to spill our secrets to the enemy! Revealing these details on how to beat our defenses is so sickening it makes me wonder whose side ABC is on. Certainly not ours....but I guess they'll do what they can to make a buck and a point in the ratings.
I'm sure if the terrorists beat our now-not-so-secret defenses, the dead victims families can feel consoled by the fact that ABC betrayed them.

That is awfully stupid and irresponsible of ABC to leak these videos. Interesting for certain, but perhaps clearer thinking would have prevented the release of such information. Hot story - who cares about the consequences right?

Too many freedoms...

In the name of news and your endless self promotion you jeopardize us all. I suppose if you had been around in WWII you would have loved to publish the D-Day plans as well so the Nazis could review them.

to make it just a bit easier for the terrorists, email them this stuff so they wont waste valuable time having to find the links.

ABC, you folks are incrribly stupid and show no regard for American safety by posting this stuff. terrorists must love you.

You have "obtained information" ... well good for you! Why don't you "obtain" a clue, and a sense of real responsiblity? Show some responsibility to YOUR COUNTRY not to your pocketbooks. You absolutely disgust me ABC News. You're a bunch of pathetic, unscrupulous worms.

This is very irresponsible journalism. The only reason ABC News runs this story is because it has great video.

Did you guys watch the videos? Seems to me the new defenses did a pretty good job at stopping potential truck bombs. Does it really help the terrorists to know this? If anything, it might deter them from trying that method (which is also one of the more devastating ones) as it would be a waste of time and effort. And if these measures are as effective as it seems, what other means do they have to attack embassies and the like? Mortars? RPGs? Airplanes? I am pretty sure that terrorists already know of these means, and have used them. Also, I think its important to know that our government is doing something to try and protect our citizens and diplomats from at least one of the dangers abroad. Take home message:Who cares if the terrorists know about this. They would see these walls as they were driving up to an embassy anyway. Not a big deal that these videos were released. Besides, its not like they point out any sort of weakness in these countermeasures...

Just read this, and all the replies; The general consensus appears to be the same: ABC, in your 'overzealous' attempt to report what you call news, have once again compromised YOUR country's NATIONAL SECURITY

Beginning to think that the execs at ABC are al-qaeda sympathizers; Having served my country for 20 years in the Naval Service, I can tell you: If this had come from someone from the military on active service, it would have been viewed as either an act of treason, or a breach of National Security (in time of war, a court-martial offense in either instance);

Word to the wise: SUPPORT THE COUNTRY THAT YOU LIVE IN: DON'T BETRAY IT!!

ABC News is irresponsible to be reporting this, especially when they act like they've done something special in giving the public this information. Seriously, you guys are idiots. And as far as the people posting are considered, thanks for having the common sense that others are obviously lacking. Too bad you all didn't go into journalism...

This is "exclusive news," that scientists and other researchers are trying to develop better methods and materials to thwart terrorist attacks? I guessed you guys missed things that were done after the Beirut bombings back in the 80's.

To Michael...you are insane, please have yourself and the rest of the conspiracy theory screwballs committed as soon as possible.

To everyone else...how, in modern times, can we have so many people that think the government blew up the buildings???? Are we doing something wrong? I'm no Bush fan, but no president would do this...or be able to in today's world, the press would know before it even happened. I'm sickened by the people that were screaming "conspiracy" while the victims families were reading their names at ground zero. It's sad.

This is unbelievable. Here we are battling people who quite literally want to kill us and ABC decides to release this! I am outraged. The news media no longer cares about looking out for the best interests of our country and instead focuses solely on scooping the competition. ABC out to be ashamed.

Traitor! This is treason! It endangers our troops and citizens. Exposing state secret is a capital offense in many countries. Can something be done to stop irresponsible reporting like this? This may even be illegal. Of course ABC will hide behind freedom of the press, coward.

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or, in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.” (Constitution of the United States of America, Art. III, Sec. 3, Par. 1)

I don't see anything wrong with all of this. All you people who are saying this will help the terrorists are crazy. That's a line directly from George Bush, a man who's political career depends on fear mongering. Stop buying into the fear! Good job ABC. This piece of journalism is a check on the government, which is one of the media's most important functions.

You people are joking, right? You think an article demonstrating the latest advances in physical security and emboldens terrorists? You would have to be fools to think a terrorist couldn't use Google, or even make a simple phone call to acquire this information. The information is out there already--and it is egomaniacal to assume that if it's news to you, that it's news to a terrorist. Reporting like this is how we as citizens have any prayer of establishing accountability from our government; by knowing how our tax dollar was spent. Reporting like this is *not* how terrorists get their news; they've got the mental clarity to do their own research.

Who are the stockholders of ABC? Somebody is asleep at the wheel, to allow such irresponsible "reporting" time after time after time... maybe it is time to start sending the ambulance chasing lawyers after those stockholders.

These things should be kept secret.
Loose lips certainly do sink ships.
Stupid glory hungry reporting.
Shame on you ABC.

Great job. Now that you've made our embassies, troops and federal workers more vulnerable to attack, how about a story on how terrorists can avoid detection at an airport and get through security measures there too.

No - wait you've already done that.

Idiots.

TAKE THIS STORY OFF YOUR WEBSITE!

ABC please u
