Newt Gingrich said Friday that a former CIA official has told him that President Obama's administration has leaked more secrets than any administration that official had seen.
"You have an Obama administration who's dedicated to appeasing our enemies and dedicated to giving away our secrets," Gingrich said in an interview with WHO radio in Des Moines. "I've had a former very senior CIA person tell me this White House has leaked more secrets than any White House in his lifetime."
A senior Obama campaign official said in response: "His definition of appeasement must be decimating al Qaeda's leadership."
Obama has been known for his low tolerance of unofficial leaked information, and has instructed his numerous directors of national intelligence to crack down on them. One senior administration official said earlier this year that the only time he witnessed Obama raising his voice was in the summer of 2010, when he complained about leakings describing the CIA efforts to expand its footprint in Yemen.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper promptly sent a memo to the entire intelligence community in which he noted that "blabbing secrets to the media is not 'in.' So far as I'm concerned." But he has found it frustrating to keep pace with the volume of information that has been disclosed.

My loathing of the Kenyan Muslim knows no bounds.
I agree. After the announcement of the killing of Osama I could not believe the information that the Obama administration was putting out about the capture. A lot of that needed to be kept under wraps. I believe Newt is 100% correct. GO NEWT!

The fbi would be at my door in 30 seconds if I said what I’m thinking.
Just like the Clintons did: military and business secrets for campaign donations and hush money. The Clinton administration did more damage to this country than can be ever determined except to say that they gave the PLA the ability to destroy this country from land, ship or space. Probably, too, Bill wanted sex with some 14 year old girly who was given to him by sex traffickers. Bubba says, “hey, man, I’ll see you get a 19 gun salute if you’ll bring a few of them to the Whitehouse for me and oh, yeah, bring a few bags of spending cash - I need to reward some of my people for their loyalty”.

Undocumented tyrants Gun-Walking AG:
Secrets lost? Treason? American deaths?
This matters not. Your King is not of this country anyway.
And the DOJ is now ONLY beholden to those
who wage holy jihad for our koran, you stupid doomed cracker."
Wow! Newt’s talking about this and blasting the Zero. At the same time Romney is backing up the Zero by saying how much Hamburger Helper we’ll be able to buy with Barry’s tax shift. Study in contrasts.
“His definition of appeasement must be decimating al Qaeda’s leadership.”
Nope. Just those iran doesn’t like. sunnis mostly...supported by saudi arabia.
The really tragic part of this atrocity and this criminal, is the fact he has access to so much of our national security information.
When he is thrown out of the White House, I can imagine what his perverted ego will do with that information and where it will end up.
There was no acceptable reason to give away our drone.
“..There was no acceptable reason to give away our drone..”
::::::::::::::
Yes there was. Another favor done. Now we have to use up some of a vastly reduced mil budget to redesign critical, classified portions of the drone...Obama just keeps hurting this country deliberately, and the Congress keeps tolerating it.

Hey, Newt! Uh, if this has been such an issue of sincere patriotic concern for you, then why did you wait until NOW to speak out about it? You know, when you are running for the nomination — and losing your lead?
His definition of appeasement must be decimating al Qaedas leadership.
No it’s just to remove the old guard and put new ones in place that can be controlled.
And, while I am at it, where is the strident chorus of Republican Senate and House voices making the same point that Newt is here.
What Newt is saying is good. (In his case, however, I simply question the timing.)
