The scandal surrounding US intelligence reports on ISIS just hit President Barack Obama's inner circle.
James Clapper, America's top spy, is reportedly in "frequent and unusual contact" with the military officer who is suspected of allowing US reports on ISIS to be altered to fit the administration's official line, Spencer Ackerman at The Guardian reports.
"In communications, Clapper, who is far more senior than Grove, is said to tell Grove how the war looks from his vantage point, and question Grove about Central Command’s assessments," Ackerman writes.
"Such a situation could place inherent pressure on a subordinate, sources said."
Clapper, the director of national intelligence, reportedly talks to Army Brig. Gen. Steven Grove, the head of US Central Command's intelligence wing, almost every day, according to The Guardian.
A former intelligence official told the newspaper that this was "highly unusual."
This report comes amid a Pentagon investigation into accusations that top military officials have pressured analysts into conforming their reports to the Obama administration's narrative of the fight against ISIS (also known as Islamic State, ISIL, and Daesh).
More than 50 intelligence analysts at Centcom, the Pentagon agency covering security interests in nations throughout the Middle East and Central Asia, have formally complained that senior intelligence officers have insisted on changing ISIS reports to make them reflect more positively on US efforts in the region, The Daily Beast reported this week.

Isn’t it Brennan that I watched on an FR linked video yesterday, filmed speaking in Arabic before some DC audience, explaining the wonderfulness, lovliness, coolness and peacefulness and cuddliness of Islam, back when he was in Cairo in the 1970’s.
He said they were so nice in Cairo to him, even though he had long hair and wore ear rings back then. (snort)
The scroll line converted this part of his speech into English and what he said was innocuous enough, but the man definitely has stars in his eyes for Muslims and their faith. He proudly alluded to Obama being raised “over there” and how much they had in common. (however, paraphrasing)
Anybody remember Tiny Tim and tiptoe through the tulips?
This is Brennan in a uniform outfit. Who put Brennan in the cabinet? There’s your answer.
I agree. Just the fact the Hillary is still lose and considered a viable candidate for president should tell us all we need to know.
This problem can't be fixed with an election or any number of elections.
An article V convention of states could potentially still work and it IS the solution the founders gave us for this exact situation. The problem is it's likely even too late for that solution. We needed a Convention of states probably more than 20 years ago at the minimum.
When Treason succeeds ... None Dare Call It Treason
He speaks arabic perfectly.
Has a prayer rug in his office for his 5X butt-stickups.
Will the truth about IS being 0’s true love ever come out? if it comes out will the American public pull its collective head out of its collective a$$ long enough to notice?
RE: So, is Obama stupid? or Evil?
One word that comes to mind is — INCOMPETENT.
As for Evil.... holding on to the liberal ideology means you NECESSARILY have to support evil.
Look at the number of intelligence gathering organizations we have in this country.
Look at the money we spend on gathering intelligence.
Gathering intelligence just to have it is playing Trivial Pursuit.
Intelligence is gathered to help leaders make operational decisions.
I would say that by looking at Obama’s horrible performance, that everyone can see that he is the problem.
You can give great intelligence-information to a fool, and he’ll still make a foolish decision.
We keep forgetting that Obama is our employee.
The dumbass screws up everything he touches.

And their chief enabler is in residence at 1600 Pa. Ave.
I’ll Say Sum Ting Wong, and it’s name is Obama. Clapper only did what he was told with a wink and a nod from Obozo and Presidente ValJar.
You’re saying Obama knows the truth Qiviut... but Obama wants the lies... to fool... people in his administration? Or like Benghazi is his administration ‘in the know’? Why the lies then?
Is the purpose of the lies to direct military policy in an Obama desired direction? Is the military the target of the lies?
I appreciate all the help... I’m still not getting the ‘second step’... who’s suppose to be tricked by the lies - and to what benefit. I might have a block on this issue... I’ll reread... again thanks for the help.
What?!
There is a backstory. And we are being blackmailed by Iran.
I can’t imagine that this is happening by chance. Democrats don’t operate that way.
That sounds like the Jeb script - I think the surprise emergence of Trump is messing up their plans.
Yes indeed, I get why Trump is calling them stupid leaders, but I’m sure he knows what we know..that Zero and his crew have been making very deliberate choices from the beginning.
Or like Benghazi is his administration ‘in the know’? Why the lies then?
************************************
Obama & his administration (top advisors, cabinet members, czars & those in the military who have replaced those Obama could not utilize for his purposes) are all on the same page.
The Obama political agenda (destruction of America) is supreme - above national security, above the welfare of the citizens of the country, above the rule of law, and certainly above the ‘truth’ if it does not agree with his agenda. Obama cannot take criticism or dissent from anyone, including now the analysts who are reporting we are not winning against ISIS when he claims we are knocking them back. His sycophants know this, have been told reports that contradict what Obama is saying are not welcome & make sure he doesn’t get what he’s told them he doesn’t want to see. It surely makes it easier for the enemedia to continue to uphold the Obama agenda if not faced with truths that conflict with the administration lies. With Benghazi, the political agenda was that we had AQ on the run, so of course, there was no way the administration was going to say the attack was caused by terrorists & they wanted to give the enemedia something else to report (the video). A lot of low infos still buy the lies ... many WANT to buy the lies (first black president & all that - got that legacy to secure) .... some of America is waking up, but it might be too little, too late.
Obama is a Muslim. It took me a very loooong time to come to that conclusion.
What other conclusion could one come to, I ask? This suspicion became confirmed by this Iran Deal. The deal is suicide for our country, so you go back and reason through what has systematically been said and done.
Obama said if there was a problem, he would side with the Muslims. He has bowed to and elevated and romanticized every Muslim in sight. He has never remotely admonished them personally.
In the theater the Middle East, it was Obama who fired and retired over 300 seasoned Generals, others resigned. There was a reason for this wholesale removal of the best and the brightest, right? You’ve got Brennan in the cabinet at Defense, and he speaks Arabic to a DC audience, requiring a translation to English on the screen. You’ve got Valerie Jarret running the Executive Branch, as an Arab. Why and what would the reason be?
Why would you empty Iraq of all US military and leave a vacuum— a vacuum guaranteed to be filled with territory seeking Muslims, who live by “MIGHT makes right”.
Read the shrinking of our military and hard assets during the most globally dangerous time in history for democracies. There would be a reason for this whole sale diminishment of our fighting men, and turning our military to a gay institution, heavily filled with women. What would that reason be?
It’s all there. Obama is true to his word. In every way he sides with the Middle East Muslims to our peril.
Muslims do this sort of thing and are allowed to pretend, allude and lie, in order to advance Islam. Even to kill. The pin prick air strikes on ISIS. Ever wonder why they are always unserious, too few, too little, too late, off target, because we have no one on the ground there to direct hits, other than satellite command?
Obama wants it this way. He can give up ISIS soldiers and even a tiny few of their leaders, if it advances the Muslim aims for the Middle East, and gains territory for Islam.
Now comes Iran. Obama wants it this way.
Why lie at all?
Valerie Jarrett is an Iranian-bred Muslim. Zero is her puppet. So, back to the drawing board for you, if it took you a ‘loooooong’ time to discover that zero is a muslim. :)
