The News-Gazette carried a rather silly article on "secret" U.S. command facilities in today's edition. It was datelined as being from "A SECURE UNDISCLOSED LOCATION". I guess that leaves it up to IMC to give the public the truth...

The News-Gazette carried a rather silly article on "secret" U.S. command facilities in today's edition. It was datelined as being from "A SECURE UNDISCLOSED LOCATION".The story mentioned that there really wasn't anything secret about these facilities, yet it maintained the official fiction that the public shouldn't actually see in print where these facilities are. Stories like this make the media complicit in the government's attempts to create secrets where there really isn't any secrecy. This adds to the smokescreen of official misinformation that the recent decision to abolish the Pentagon's "office of lies" only made more unclear. I believe that the press does not serve the public well by cooperating in such shenanigans.

It simply isn't a secret.
Here are links to a variety of sources (but primarily from the excellent site, Cryptome) that detail these not-so-secret facilities:
