Clearly there comes a time when all this transparency stuff surrounding the use of specific weapons in warfare has to be balanced carefully, with not assisting the known enemy, by disclosing too much or say nothing at all.
This is quite an interesting case that has just gone through the UK courts, raised by individuals who wanted to know how many drone strikes occurred and from where the unmanned drones were operating from for clearly their own business motives, and clearly the reluctance of the Ministry of Defence to disclose facts that could cost soldiers their lives.................but then to put it into the public domain........is like" shooting oneself in the foot "
