This is a must, must read. Turns out the AP story reporting how LTC Shaffer has had his security clearance revoked was full of errors. LTC Shaffer's lawyer tried to get the story correct to no avail. So the attorney turned to Ed Morrissey at Captain's Quarters to get the truth out!!

Absolutely, absolutely amazing.

I read it. One thing is certain (IMHO), is that when your clearance is revoked but days or weeks ahead of your agreement to disclose, then the game hardball has begun.

While it is illegal to take classified info home (see Deutsch, Berger, et al), sometimes having a CD full is not such a bad thing.

Unfortunately, the AP story was terrible. Despite having the documents in her possession the reporter made numerous errors and ignored crucial information.

Degrees and education aside, journalists are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Ignorance is their most notable characteristic, closely followed by political bias.

What a job AP did, hard to believe that it was just incompetence.

AP is the democrats attack dog. They don't want this story out because it makes their impeached-liar-under-oath adulterer-perverted-sex-addict Clinton look bad.

So .. who's in the DIA's office who doesn't want this information to be made public ..?? I wonder what it will take to find out who in that office is connected to Gorelick. I am convinced she is spearheading the drive to keep this information out of the public.

It's all being done to help Hillary.

Yet again we see the mendacious ineptitude of so much of the MSM! This 'reporter' is not worthy of shoveling excrement on a pig farm, but is allowed (and PAID) to report on national security matters of the utmost importance. What a travesty!!!

Worse still is the railroad job some DIA bureaucrats are trying to do to the honorable Col. Shaffer. If Rumsfeld or someone close to him does not take notice and do something to correct these injustices I will be even more disgusted.

Absolutely, absolutely amazing.

Actually, absolutely ABOUT TIME! The MSM is only empowered and because "we the people" have made it so. Now, Americans are making newer choices about where and how to get their news. And where and how to report it.

Good.
