"Army Cleaning Up Web Sites"
From the article, "Col. Thaddeus Dmuchowski, director of information assurance in the Army's Chief Information Officer Office, said the service was "caught blindsided" when it first learned of more than 70 examples of publicly accessible Army Web sites containing "inappropriate information."

Dmuchowski likened it to a Microsoft Corp. PowerPoint presentation with hidden slides that may not be visible, but are still there."
