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

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.

The administration said its hand was forced because unnamed reporters had learned about the raid to rescue Foley and other hostages, believed to include Steven Sotloff, who was also later executed by ISIS.

They delayed the rescue until after the hostages were moved. Then they exposed it.

Aldrich Ames died in jail for doing something like this. Snowden is exiled in Russia for doing it. Muslim Brotherhood has an agent in the Oval Office who does it with impunity.

I seem to remember that they exposed Seal Team 6 after the Bin Ladin raid, and got them killed.

Of course they did, Obama directly warned them that that’s what they should do.

I’m certain it was intentional. Seeing he has close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and all.

Something tells me these unnamed reporters were told about it by unnamed administration officials so that their hand would be forced to release the information.

ABSOLUTELY ..!!!!!!

But .. if you really analyze the current admin’s responses to what’s happening in this country .. several things become apparent.

If you’re an illegal, you get perks and special treatment. If you’re a Muslim or Islamist .. you get special treatment.
If you’re AN AMERICAN CITIZEN .. YOU GET SHIT ON, LIED TO, FLEECED FINANCIALLY, AND JUST PLAIN GENERALLY TREATED WITH DISDAIN (like crap - for the low information people).

WHY .. YOU ASK ..?? Because, Citizen .. you are the target. WE CAN’T GET TO TYRANNY UNTIL THE MIDDLE CLASS IS DESTROYED .. and so far, this Admin is doing a great job of trying to accomplish that fact.

Sort of reminiscent of Senator Orin Hatch (IIRC) proclaiming to the news microphones on the steps of the Capitol that we were tracing Osama bin Laden’s satellite phone the morning after the 9-11-01 attacks.

Strangely, the satellite phone went dead almost immediately.
