Army Deploys Cartoon Character in Anti-WikiLeaks Campaign

Need to know what SAEDA stands for? Enter "McGruff the Crime Dog-style cartoon sergeant to talk to your soldiers like Third Graders about information security," Gawker writes. (By the way, SAEDA is "Subversion and Espionage Directed Against the Army," shame on you .)

This guy in camo will dish out quizzes, make you memorize acronyms, terrorize and knock you down with a tank if you think you can fudge your way through his session. Watch a video of the interactive training here , or, better still, if you are in the mood to be traumatized, take it yourself .

77,000 documents on the Afghan conflict were posted on Oct. 22 onto the whistleblower website, WikiLeaks . The Pentagon wasn't pleased.

"We deplore WikiLeaks for inducing individuals to break the law, leak classified documents and then cavalierly share that secret information with the world, including our enemies," Geoff Morrell, the Defense Department press secretary, said in a statement to the New York Times .

With camo cartoon commando breathing down your neck, there might be good reason to be afraid, be very afraid.
