A Web site run by a man who hopes to warn people about the dangers of peer-to-peer networks has posted a number of military documents and photos he says he found online.The photos and documents, ranging from personal photos taken in Iraq to military rosters, were found by searching the list of files on several popular P2P networks.SeeWhatYouShare.com is run a man named 'Glen,' who explains on his contact page that he began posting the information after he discovered a number of military briefings on the Gnutella Network."The briefings were zipped and the file contained 21 documents with classifications ranging from For Official Use Only to Secret/NO FORN," he said in his explanation. "Shocked at my discovery, I notified an agency on a nearby military installation. When nothing happened, I notified another agency. I continued this course because no action was taken and for a nation at war, I was concerned for the safety of our soldiers."Some of the photos on the site are of a personal nature (with faces blacked out in some cases), but the majority of images are ones taken by soldiers in Iraq. Scenes include a soldier holding a gold machine gun taken from one of Saddam Hussein's palaces as well as what seem to be several celebrities meeting troops.
