I shouldn’t be reading this. This should be considered a serious leak. Our enemies appreciate all leaked info, I’m sure.

The only way to regard anything that issues from the Criminal Media Syndicate, aka the Mainstream Media, is to assume everything is a lie. No need to waste time reading it or trying to make sense of it. Disregard and move on.

It bears repeating: Next time there are complaints about the lack of sharing between allied intel services, remember the leak of May ‘12.

“British agent in underpants bomb plot had been working undercover ‘for up to a year’

Future operations and Intellience sharing between Britain and the US may have been endangered by the leaking of sensitive details about the agent who infiltrated an al-Qaeda cell plotting an underpants bomb attack.”

By Duncan Gardham, Tom Whitehead
8:30PM BST 11 May 2012

SNIPPET: “Both MI6 and the CIA are thought to be extremely unhappy that details of British undercover agent became public.

President Obama’s Administration was criticised yesterday and a top-level investigation opened in Washington after accusations that the information, released initially by unnamed US sources to an American news agency, had been used for political pointscoring.”

SNIPPET: “Downing Street declined to comment on the case.

David Cameron’s official spokesman told reporters at a regular daily briefing: “I understand there is an investigation under way, being led by the Americans. It is clearly a matter for the US authorities. Clearly, we think that sensitive information should be protected.””

SNIPPET: “Nigel Inkster, a former assistant chief of MI6, said in a Twitter message: “The revelations about the British agent in AQ [al Qaeda] remind us that Beltway leaking is a major security threat,” referring to the area of Washington DC.”

“Spying on al Qaeda”
By Thomas Joscelyn
May 10, 2012 5:11 PM

SNIPPET: “Double agents go both ways in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates. This latest round goes to the white hats — except for the part about blowing the double agent’s cover.”
