Emails show DOD analysts told to 'cut it out' on ISIS warnings; IG probe expands

Analysts at U.S. Central Command were pressured to ease off negative assessments about the Islamic State threat and were even told in an email to "cut it out," Fox News has learned – as an investigation expands into whether intelligence reports were altered to present a more positive picture.

Fox News is told by a source close to the CENTCOM analysts that the pressure on them included at least two emails saying they needed to "cut it out" and "toe the line."

Separately, a former Pentagon official told Fox News there apparently was an attempt to destroy the communications. The Pentagon official said the email warnings were "not well received" by the analysts.

Those emails, among others, are now in the possession of the Pentagon inspector general. The IG's probe is expanding into whether intelligence assessments were changed to give a more positive picture of the anti-ISIS campaign.

Can anyone imagine in WWII an American company facilitating Nazi and Jap communications?

Things have changed. Now even the MSM helps our enemies and exposes allies.

Of course he did. He created them.

Obama is the forerunner of the Mahdi, according to Islamic prophecy. An Islamic John-The -Baptist whom it is said will bring down the entire West from within right before the world goes up in conflagration, signaling the victory of all Islam over the world.

Or so their bullpuckey from the mouth of Satan goes.

Prince Charles is an example of why your parents shouldn’t meet at a family reunion.

..and the reason WHY is here:

Syrian 'refugees' represent the Soros/Obama ISLAMO-MARXIST WAR ON THE WEST, WORLDWIDE

Oh wait.. Odunga probably didn't know about this until he "read it in the newspaper".

If the political system refuses to do the right thing, impeachment, because they are afraid of the mob, then we have reached the point of rule by the mob.

Bam bam could give weapons to ISIS, he could warn them before attacks, he could funnel money to them and he still wouldn’t be impeached.

You're right, because there is evidence that he has done all 3 of those things and he still hasn't been impeached.

ISIS uses steganography and public websites for operational communications.

There’s no way to shut that down because the messages are invisible. Impossible to detect that the messages are even being exchanged, let alone with information they contain.

They could be communicating through pictures posted on FR and we’d never know it.

Monitoring that kind of communication is ostensibly what the NSA is supposed to be doing. Instead the NSA is monitoring you and I.

Its difficult but not impossible when you feed a ton of information into a massive data analysis machine.

Why is the blue circle for the US over fly over country? Seems to me it should be centered over the District of Corruption.

A U.S. Central Command official confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon on Monday that warning pamphlets were dropped on Islamic State targets 45 minutes before bombing sorties in order "to minimize the risks to civilians."
