Updated at 8:14 a.m. ET: President Barack Obama has signed a so-called "intelligence finding" authorizing covert aid to the Syrian rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, NBC News has confirmed.
White House and intelligence officials declined to comment on a Reuters report about the aid.
A U.S. official also said that while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said the U.S., is providing non-lethal aid and communications to the rebels, the presidential finding provides more intelligence resources than had been previously known.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The administration has been under constant criticism for months from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and others who say the administration should be arming the rebels.

The Obama traitors should be sent to Gitmo for their acts of treason re releasing secrets.
The release of data like this endangers our people around the world and could be a death sentence for our allies helping us.

Carter damaged our intel assets/sources for decades.
Obozo and his Chicago Traitors in DC and the outhouse may be even more dangerous to our warriors and intel assets.

With the release of this news, I guess it is no longer secret.
FWIW, ObaMao has long been a bum chum of radical Islam. He just thinks Al Qaida went a little too far on 9-11-01.

Ah, c’mon, GD, it’s covert! Nobody’ll ever...wait a minute...
As a former intel JAG, I completely agree with you - summary rendering of intel leakers might stem the tide a bit.

This was released to silence McCain and others, who were saying the great pretender wasn’t doing anything.
This is to enhance his fabricated tough guy persona.

Of course he does.
Assad is a no-good, rotten barbaric SOB.
But the rebels are worse.

Yep, rendering/sending some of Obozo’s blabbers to Gitmo for paid vacation might have some impact on the blabbers and their blabber in chief.

If we don’t vote the traitor in chief out with his buddies in the $inate, we can kiss America goodbye.

Obama hopes to create an Islamic Union, ruled over by the Muslim Brotherhood despots, and his gift to them, besides trillions in aid, will be Israel and the US, Israel to destroy, and the US as a source of slave labor for their new empire.
