we will strive VERY hard to keep (mostly hard working)

people (mostly with brown skin) out of OUR country YET here i am reading about stolen computers and data (from united states military bases) being SOLD IN THE BAZAARS of afghanistan. how about we concentrate on securing this data. why don't we deputize the border vigilantes and send 'em on over to afghanistan to guard our computers (and our viagra) instead of guarding against brown skinned women and children trying to make a better life for themselves??????????

Military secrets seep from US base
Afghan shops peddle stolen computer parts
By Paul Watson, Los Angeles Times April 13, 2006
BAGRAM, Afghanistan -- No more than 200 yards from the main gate of the sprawling US base here, stolen computer drives containing classified military assessments of enemy targets, naming corrupt Afghan officials, and describing American defenses are on sale in the local bazaar.
Shop owners at the bazaar say Afghan cleaners, garbage collectors, and other workers from the base arrive each day offering purloined goods, including knives, watches, refrigerators, packets of Viagra, and flash memory drives taken from military laptops. The drives, smaller than a pack of chewing gum, are sold as used equipment.
The thefts of computer drives have the potential to expose military secrets as well as Social Security numbers and other identifying information of military personnel.
A reporter recently obtained several drives at the bazaar that contained documents marked ''Secret." The contents included documents that were potentially embarrassing to Pakistan, a US ally, presentations that named suspected militants targeted for ''kill or capture," and discussions of US efforts to ''remove" or ''marginalize" Afghan government officials whom the military considered ''problem makers."
The drives also included deployment rosters and other documents that identified nearly 700 US service members and their Social Security numbers.
After choosing the name of an army captain at random, a reporter using the Internet was able to obtain detailed information on the woman, including her home address in Maryland and the license plate numbers of her 2003 Jeep Liberty sport utility vehicle and 1998 Harley Davidson XL883 Hugger motorcycle.
Troops serving overseas would be particularly vulnerable to attempts at identity theft because keeping track of their bank and credit records is difficult, said Jay Foley, co-executive director of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego........
