Military source: ISIS hostages dispersed after revelation of Foley rescue mission

After the administration released details of the July mission to rescue journalist James Foley and others in Syria, intelligence suggests ISIS dispersed the remaining hostages to multiple locations, making them harder to locate, a military source told Fox News.

In addition, the source added guard forces around the hostages doubled while widely publicized reporting about the scope of new aerial surveillance in the region caused ISIS to change its pattern of behavior on the ground.

"Any time you (disclose) very highly sensitive tactical information, you're giving away your road map if you will, your strategy," said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, who as chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee receives regular intelligence briefings. "It's very highly damaging to the hostages."

The details about the rescue mission were released by the Defense Department and National Security Council one day after a video was posted online Aug. 19 of Foley’s execution.

Defense Department and National Security Council. You know, I always wanted to be a part of the CIA piecing info together, but I know I have a big mouth. What do I do? Talk to people. So, whoever is not following protocol and releasing this kind of information that not only puts the hostages in MORE danger it also compromises future missions, should go into customer service where you can actually help people by giving them ALL the information they need. I hear eBay is hiring. You can work from home. %%^&@! idiots.

He said it on purpose to let ISIS know there was a split in the US government, that the military regards ISIS as an enemy even though the White House supports them.

It was obama himself who released the info trying to make himself look proactive in retrospect.

amateur hour in the white house again,.

Have they done anything right on foreign policy yet?

Iraq is now a mess, Supported an Islamic Egypt, Libya a complete mess now, Isis on the rampage, terrorist attacks in the United States but called work place violence, one of the suspects from Libya might now get off free because lack of evidence and because Holder is an idiot who thought they should give him a lawyer , No reset for Russia, the UK, Poland, etc have all been spied on and don’t respect us anymore, Hamas being backed by Obama.

Oh year Obama is really smart sarc,
The only thing obama cares about is trying ot change this country and let homosexuals and cross dressers run rampart in the military

Obama will never be confused with Churchill. However once a rescue mission was launched and failed, ISIS had a pretty good idea that the US had some however faulty intelligence assets, the military capability to launch such missions and they ISIS would be absolutely foolish if they did not alter their tactics and procedures.

Do you think ISIS did not know there was a raid on the site when it happened?

“It was obama himself who released the info trying to make himself look proactive in retrospect.” BINGO! The Same with Osama. As an old cold warrior(Air Defense Command) during the post cold war era of the 50s and 60s I never witnessed a breach of security to satisfy the political butt of some CIC.

ISIS' agent in the White Hut passed this intelligence using the usual couriers, the MSM.

It use to be called treason to reveal sources and methods. Not it's CNN Breaking News.

I too was in when US was in the Cold War, although just as a JAG Officer (which I understand is just a cushy job and not a real fighter). Still, that was a sophisticated deathly game, this is a total brawl. And with leaders who are demented.

These are not amateurs, but they want US to believe they are when they aid and abet the enemies of America.

Maybe not. They were already gone from that site because Obama refused to give permission for the raid until ISIS had time to move to a different location. Almost makes me wonder if a) Obama told ISIS to move; and/or b) Obama had intel tracking ISIS and held off until he knew they were gone from that site.

No matter how you slice it, if somebody is so dumb that you can’t tell whether they are killing Americans on purpose or just so stupid that they cause death whatever they do.... they need to go. Yesterday.

This family should publicly ask for Obama to be prosecuted for the same crimes the regime threatened to prosecute the family for - if indeed the US paid money in addition to the release of 5 REALLY BAD captured Al Qaeda operatives in exchange for Bergdahl. The hypocrisy is so bold it’s stunning. They really do think this entire country is stupid, blind, or powerless.

“All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.” Some really good writer who can think fast needs to do a George Orwell and expose the Obama regime like Orwell exposed Stalin. Immediately.
