As a family member who was recently misinformed (THANK GOD!) by unoficial means that our soldier in Iraq had been killed in an operation, I fully believe the military needs to update their monitoring of any and all communications. Email, BLOGS and text messages are not the way information needs get to family members, but they are a lot quicker ( and often less accurate )than regular channels.
