You're honestly the first thus far that seems to have a problem with a civilian being able to get a hold of non-classified, non-sensitive items...
Draco, after speaking to one of the QPs here regarding this, I will quote him (though paraphrasing as it was a phone conversation), "just because it is not marked as classified or it has a non-classified stamp on it...does not mean it is for public dissemination or for civlian consumption".

Granted, if you are getting information via research on the web, that is one thing (and IMO, I think there is way too much info out there that shouldn't be); however, as I stated before I have to wonder why an MI commander is giving you these documents and photos that are clearly property of the US Goverment and/or US Military. And why would you make this publicly known where anyone doing research knows it?
