Good question. It looks like the only reason this guy was busted is that someone ratted him out but I’d bet this is far from being the whole story.
It was a deep and ongoing frustration with me that so many leaks occurred under Bush. They all hurt him and/or the military. I don’t remember the perp walk of a single leaker. It seems like if you make a high profile example of one, the rest might think twice. Fwiw.
I was AOL emailed a video of two Iraqis with a Donkey. I happened to know where that video originated. I called the OIC in to see it, he said “Oh our Donkey video.”
I said yes, that it was taken in your SECRET facility and is now being sent on the Internet. Someone compromised it.
He said “Oh.” I am not sure was action he took, probably none. I was a just a scumbag contractor at the time.
