Obama transition team to meet with defense secretary

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/tag/cnn-pentagon-correspondent-barbara-starr/

###

But CNN has learned that the Obama transition team will not immediately be provided classified information on current military operations and plans, certain National Security Council matters, intelligence programs and future DOD budget plans for the time being, under the terms of a memo sent to senior DOD officials by Gates’ top aide.

CNN has obtained a copy of the three-page memo, sent to all top department civilian and military officials November 19 by aide Robert Rangel.

It outlines what can and cannot be shared at this point with Obama’s transition staff.

According to the memo,

until there is “further guidance,” there will be no disclosure of “sensitive information” in the following categories: “current military operations; special access programs; pre-decisional budget information; contingency operations/plans; personnel records; privileged and other legally protected information; competition sensitive information; and active National Security Council policy deliberations.”

Other classified information can only be provided to transition team members who have appropriate security clearances.

CNN has confirmed that at least six of the Obama transition officials have been granted interim security clearances that give them access to so-called “sensitive compartmented information.”

This is the most reassuring news in weeks!

We have prayed for weeks, that if Obama is not eligible to be our President, that it be found out before it is too late. More prayers needed....that those in control right now..FIND OUT THE TRUTH and protect our great country from a constitutional crisis!!

We can handle riots..what we can’t handle is our constitution being subverted and trashed.

Thanks for the ping and all the work you are doing!

So what do you think this is? Is this due to standard operating procedure or something else?
