Will they ever plug up any of those leaks?
To: FreedomOfExpression
Note the emphasis ‘from within the Bush administration’. The operatives aligned against Bush within the CIA would be a more accurate guess, IMO. Think Mary McCarthy types.

I wonder if is was the same people who leaked the fact that the BIS might have spoted Mohammed Atta and Ahmad Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani meeting in Prague.

It goes without saying that whoever did this ought to be found, tried, and convicted of sedition.

"Will they ever plug up any of those leaks?"Not until they start sending the leakers to prison for 20 years.

The FBI should have already been brought in to investigate.
To: FreedomOfExpression
Leakers within the government who destroy vital intelligence channels should be dealt with harshly. They are traitors and should be tried and executed.
To: FreedomOfExpression
I do not know of one case of someone being charged and tried for leaking secret information during the 7 yrs of this administration.
I may be wrong, but I'm drawing a blank.
To: Fairview
Nothing will be done. Bush has a perfect record of not prosecuting a single traitor to our country. The leaks will go on because the leakers/traitors know nothing will happen to them. They are treated as heros by the MSM and will be shielded by the democrats in congress also. Odds are it’s a Clinton hold over at the State Dept. or CIA.

Never. The Federal bureaucracy is overrun by leftists and they breed like the rats they are. Fire one and a dozen take his place.

Something does not make sense here. How did SITE obtain the information about the Bin Lade video on September 2007? Did they obtain from a terrorist websites that had the first version of it? If so I do not think that this is a major security breach what so ever because these websites exist mainly to spread terrorist propaganda and materials and to recruit terrorists, they are not meant to be as a communication tool for terrorist attacks.
Did SITE obtain the video from a private communication with someone in Al Qaeda or its media wing the Sahab institute? In this case it is a different story but I have great doubt that the SITE institute has such an access.

No the only person who has been prosecuted in this administration was prosecuted for perhaps incompletely remembering part of a conversation he had had years earlier about a person of no importance at all. For that, you get financially ruined and face prison. For ruining a critical intelligence operation that may have saved the lives of thousands, there will be no consequence.

Not cleaning house was Jorge's biggest mistake from day #1.
Whoever is responsible for this debacle should be on a plane to GITMO in shackles.

Not until they start taking security more seriously. I was assigned a couple of years ago at an agency that deals daily with extremely sensitive information. You can’t get into the building without a Top Secret/SCI clearance, have to swipe in and swipe out, and no cell phones or recordable media are allowed in the building. Problem was, the in/out checks of bags were cursory and nobody ever checked my pockets for a flash drive or other media storage device.

They had apparently hacked into the AQ intranet and were lurking.

From NRO:
The founder of the company, the SITE Intelligence Group, says this premature disclosure tipped al-Qaeda to a security breach and destroyed a years-long surveillance operation that the company has used to intercept and pass along secret messages, videos and advance warnings of suicide bombings from the terrorist group's communications network.
