If it's not an official statement, I call BS.
Not only that, if the official thought the matter was too sensitive to give his name, it's too sensitive for him to give the information, or does he think his name is more important than the subject matter?
Sounds like another leaking lefty full of malice and bullshit aforethought. The CIA and Justice are full of them. I don't know why we shouldn't expect a rat's nest of them in the DoD as well, seeing as how Bush has never bothered to weed them out from any department or agency after Hillary's pigfest in appointing them.
