All Obama needs to do now is hire Pat "leaky" Leahy and old Sandy "the burgler" Berger and add em to his nat security team and all will be well. Too bad Holder is too busy telling black churches how to vote and making sure all illegals get to vote in Florida to worry about pesky things like classified leaks.

"The Democratic chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday expressed worry that leaks to press about a cyber attack on Iran authorized by the Obama administration could lead to a counter-attack on the U.S.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) joined other senior Senate Democrats in expressing serious concerns about the leak, which detailed a cyber attack intended to harm Iran's nuclear program. Some Republicans argue the information was leaked to help President Obama's re-election campaign."

In addition to the cyber attack, officials are extremely worried about other national security leaks, ranging from the OBL raid to the manufactured terror case that was disrupted by the British Al Qaeda inside guy. I'll see if I can dig up the article.

Quote:
Perhaps the highest profile intelligence coupe for the administration, the killing of Osama bin Laden, was followed almost immediately by criticism of how much detail was leaking out. Then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates complained that after officials agreed in the Situation Room not to reveal operational details, it was mere hours before that agreement was broken.

"The leaks that followed the successful bin Laden mission led to the arrest of Pakistanis and put in danger the mission's heroes and their families," Rep. Peter King, R-New York, said in an interview on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."

Questions were raised about why details of documents and other articles that were seized during the raid were discussed even before the intelligence community had time to review what they were holding.

""Disclosure of classified information to anyone not cleared for it — reporters, friends, colleagues in the private sector or other agencies, former agency officers — does tremendous damage to our work. At worst, leaks endanger lives," the letter said."

Endangering lives means nothing to these folks when votes are involved. Hell after the bin laden gig they were probably sprinting to the press room knocking over old ladies to get to the microphone.

It is difficult to imagine that this Amature is so desperate for re-election he leaks this as well as that spy agent in Yemen last month.

Unfit for command.

The investigation will get as much attention as Fast and Furious/Gun Walker. This Administration was given the All Go by the media before it even took office. They can do nearly anything they want to do and will rarely get called out for it by the media.

For those of you who are liberal and dont care, you should care. Your news media, aka watch dogs, are failing this country. They turn the other way, rather than inform the public due to their own personal ideology. That should scare you. What if some day the media some how changes to far right, and does the exact same thing for far right or non-liberal politicians? Youd be pissed and worried. Well, you should be worried now. This is flat out wrong and it needs to be reported.

Yeah, one of Biden's aids released the name of a CIA operative to someone at Fox. Horrible scumbags.

I'm sure when hit with the cyber-attack, Iran was absolutely stunned as to who did it and didn't flip a coin to try to figure out if it was Israel or the US.

Not to make you sound like a fool here, but you know that article was written by CNN, right? I mean, that very liberal biased media that you have your panties in a bunch here are the ones reporting this.

Feel free to read what I quoted from you here and then read the article. You noted that the news media are failing this country, but you're saying that in response to something they wrote. It's like you're standing in a field of wheat complaining about how liberal farmers are trying to starve you.

Put away the emotions next time.

Yeah you publish tens of thousands of pages of secret documents and put troops and other agents in danger, people get mad and justifiably so.

I'm sure the Obama admin had their hands all over those documents being released. Some flunky private did all that? LOL
