Jim Bates From reading your blog, I now know your name and what company you work for. If I were a Taliban or other insurgent wanting to kidnap you I know you have recently been promoted and have some persuasion over 1/3 of the employees in your company. Therefore, you are a person of interest to my terrorist organization. I also know you are based in J-bad and travel ring routes to outlying FOBs. I know you will be in an international airport on or about 45 days from April 11. I have your picture and know what you look like. I know or can discern who your family members are, what they may look like and now have reach-back to Colorado where they live. I can use this information to pressure you when you are under my control, whether I ever activate someone to threaten your family or not.

Jim Bates If I were a Taliban or other insurgent trying to piece together targeting information on FOB Mehter Lam, I would go to this blog and review your photo album to fill in any missing information I don't have from other sources.

tyler your family is beautiful. be safe.
