Iran

Newshog has a post about how the new ABC exclusive news report about IEDs coming in from Iran isn't all that exclusive, or for that matter, new. That is all true. One other thing about the report stood out to me though.

Why is the Army releasing this information to ABC at all? From ABC News:

The U.S. Army has embarked on a crash effort to find ways to stop the bombs, according to an unclassified report issued last month. The devices are easily hidden and detonated by motion detectors — like those used in garden security lights — that cannot be jammed. [emphasis mine]

Why is this report unclassified? The Pentagon tells us virtually everything is classified information and they can't tell us about it, and if anyone leaks anything, it gives aid and comfort to the enemy, no matter how obvious what we are doing is. Doesn't this report do the same thing? Doesn't this report tell them that these techniques they are using are working, not to mention that we are trying to interdict them as they come across the border?

I don't know whether or not the Iranian government is involved in this or whether insurgents have set up shop across the border for safety, but this smells like propaganda to support bombing Iran over their nuclear program to me.
