It wasn't taken down because of opsec.  The guy who created the video was told to take it down because he didn't ask for permission.  He is turning it over to PA so it can be "vetted" first.

The people who were on the ISIS hit list had done interviews and stories for PA. All they did was Googlefu their name and what base their from and they eventually found their address.

I wouldn't want PA vetting anything.

But if PA doesn't vet and publish the video how can any of them get a bullet for their next evaluation out of somebody else's hard work?

If PA produced videos with 1/3 of the quality of this instead of interviewing Col. X or Chief X for some article that nobody will read about resiliency/SAPR/Uniforms/Suicides/Masters/PME/Volunteering/"the mission" (that's not actually the mission) etc. nobody would ever give PA a hard time. But no they'll continue to cover the latest road clean up/bake sale project or write more stupid articles about shit nobody cares about while ignoring the actual things that go on around base to kill bad guys and break their stuff.

Wow. The Syria situation reaches another level of potential US/Soviet escalation.

Because we're backfilling one bomber with another? I think the intensity of the proxy war has little to do with that.

RUS making a big deal out of this would be like us throwing a tantrum every time an RPG was fired at our helos.
