Breaking – Proven reliable sources tell me that in tomorrow morning's edition of the NYT, the leftist paper will reveal that DOD has embedded military rapid reaction teams at a number of US embassies abroad.
The Times is again giving our enemies hard intel they need to be more effective on the worldwide terrorism battlefield.
The concept was very simple; When we got intel that known terrs were operating in a specific area, the US team already in place would be able to snatch them quickly. Because the team is already there, entry problems would be eliminated and reaction time would be much faster. Terrs know how long it takes to get a Delta/SEAL/Snakeeater team out of US or forward area bases and into operational areas, so they know how long they can stay in an area themselves.
Under the new "pre-placement" plan, the reaction time was reduced from days to minutes.
I don't have full details yet, but sources believe not all countries where "pre-placed" teams are located knew they were there. In fact, majority of countries probably did not know small teams of our troops were ready to operate on their ground. Is assumed there were there under civilian cover or perhaps listed as part of the USMC security detachment.
The idea was simple. The snatches would be quick and quiet. Terrs would be removed to other country, possibly Guantanimo, often using business jets borrowed from legitimate US companies, and no one would ever know how or why they disappeared.
Now, thanks to NYT, all is blown!
When are subscribers going to say enough is enough and boycott the NYT? Unless this happens, you do not have my sympathies. And unless the government disables the NYT for treason it also does not have my sympathies.
That would be a relief...the trap part, that is.
No doubt in my mind.
You maybe right, nothing illegal but classified?
Yes it appears that Drudge is the first on this. He is a dope.
Are they being forced to work there?
They aren't willing participators p to whom a byline is ever so much more important than National Security?
Go for the gusto, go after both.
"Unless this happens, you do not have my sympathies."
Wha?
He didn't give the locations.
>I'm withholding donations until the GOP will start going
after these teasonous b;2#ms!!!<
I've withheld donations since the GOP has done nothing about securing our borders.
bttt
The blame must be put on both.
Bush administration targets sources, reporters under espionage laws
In recent weeks, dozens of employees at the CIA, the National Security Agency and other intelligence agencies have been interviewed by agents from the FBI's Washington field office, who are investigating possible leaks that led to reports about secret CIA prisons and the NSA's warrantless domestic surveillance program, according to law enforcement and intelligence officials familiar with the two cases.
I dunno, the longer more people sit around with their mouths agape, like they witnessed the latest wardrobe malfunction, the more secure the Times employees jobs are.
This is total absurdity on the paper's part.
I think it is an obvious desperate attempt by them to sell papers or to matter at all.
This is war though and they should be handled by the proper authorities.
I hope they go so broke that their owners burn their own buildings down for the insurance money soon.
in a nutshell!
If the Times were on foreign soil, I think it would be long gone.
Heck do ya suppose we trust Frances?
This is a nothing story with the exception of the fact that the Times is willing to capitolize on it (which is also a nothing story)
Yellow journalism at its finest, anything for a buck
The President needs to go on prime time TV and point out these people and how they are hindering the WOT... A little "fireside chat" will do a lot to shut up these bastards.
That's right. It's illegal to knowingly print classified information. I wonder how hard it would be to get a FISA warrant to monitor the NYT?
