Washington, D.C. (AHN) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is calling for an investigation into the inadvertent posting of sensitive but unclassified information about civilian nuclear sites across the nation on a government website.
A 267-document describing the nuclear sites with maps and other details was posted on the Government Printing Office website. The report is a draft declaration to the International Atomic Energy Agency in compliance with the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty President Barack Obam had sent the draft to Congress last month for review.
The posting was first reported this week by Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists in his newsletter, Secrecy News. The document has been taken down from the GPO website, but is still available at Aftergood's blog.
"The IAEA classification of the enclosed declaration is 'Highly Confidential Safeguards Sensitive' however, the United States regards this information as 'Sensitive but Unclassified,." the President said in his May 5 transmittal letter to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Pelosi issued a statement on Wednesday saying, "The disclosure of information related to nuclear facilities suggests that the current system does not provide adequate review and safeguards. Accordingly, I have asked the Government Accountability Office to investigate immediately what led to the disclosure of this information and to make recommendations to prevent a similar disclosure in the future."
Why isn’t Hillary! screaming about this? Isn’t this happening on her watch?
HRH Pelosi could just say the leak was a lie.
Nancy, please explain your LIES to the American people. Although a complicit corrupt Media does not question you, Americans do! We want to know why you think you can lie with impunity.
No Confidence!
Yeah I’ll give you a probe, Pelosi. And not the kind that will leave you smiling, either.
“Pelosi Wants Probe” is a mind scarring image I may never recover from.
She should ask for help from the CIA on this.
LOL
I WANT a probe of Pelosi’s statements about the CIA and what she knew and when she knew it.....she’s trying to deflect from her own problems....don’t buy into it!
Geen Nancy, maybe they were just lying to you.
Good one.
Polosi Wants Probe... Had to stop and shudder before I could go any further.
Hitlary is silently screaming because she’s trapped in a web of thugs
And the results of this probe will end up being...Bush’s Fault!
LOL! My first thought, too. *BLECH*
“Hitlary is silently screaming because she’s trapped in a web of thugs...”
One would think she’d feel right at home! ;)
Amazing how successful she has been at diverting attention. Our wonderful press. /s
How much did it cost us for her to get outta town when the heat was turned up to high?
Is Pelosi back from CHINA ?
I thought she was banished........
No need for a probe, since we all know that “It’s George Bush’s fault.”
If she is calling for an investigation it must mean she has some Republicans for blame in her sights.
