I do not know whether this has been posted here through another source or is being pulled in threads or not. But through military sources and a private document I saw with my own eyes 2 names have been listed as the leak to the Washington Post. p> Sen. Orrin Hatch Republican from Utah and Senator Diane Feinstein Democrat from California. If this is pulled I will understand. This source is 100% accurate. I am currently writing a piece on our national security at this current time for one of the papers I write for. This is bound to come out soon. So I figured I would post this here first.
This was worth repeating. He's definitely "compromised".
Occam's listen for a second here. I agree with what you are saying 100%. But sink to reality for a second. The military has its share of rank dictator's, ego maniacs, and morons. There is the majority that does nothing more than give background and some good history on events that might not have ever been told or seen. They respect everything to do with their code of honor. Then we have the other extreme who love their country just as much as the next in their outfit but never shut up about what they know or heard or have seen.
It has been going on for years. Just look at the "sources" you never see on any of the networks. People in the military love to leak. No secret history here. But maybe at a time like this there should be more caution. He knew I was harmless in many cases. That I was just doing a historical piece on lapses in our security within our own government. That is how this thing started to begin with. Besides I did not run here to post this as soon as I had it. I actually had it for almost 36 hrs and did not say a word about it. Posted it because from what I was hearing..the NY Post was ready to jump on it and I was not sure if they had yet or not because I had not been online today to check.

The senator suggested the administration should discover the person who leaked the classified information and make its concerns clear. "But one person's inappropriate statements should not disrupt" the traditional briefing system, Feinstein said. "I hope the president cancels his directive."
Geddy, does this tell you anything?
Apparently born ~ yesterday. :)
Don't expect a visit. LOL
I for one have talked to one editor I work in contact with and he doesn't plan on doing anything with the story I have added to until the time is right.
Maybe the editor should teach him how to write a coherent and grammatical sentence.
And he claims to be a journalist!
Can he spell h-o-a-x?
Senators have immunity from arrest while Congress is in session.
"They shall in all Cases except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses..." Article 1 Section 6.
This might just uplift the reputation of the press in the eyes of the public, and might also stop any congressidiots from having the nerve to pull a stunt like this again!
(The idea of being "outed" as a leaker of classified info in a time of war would make those who are trying to curry favor with the press pause a minute and think of the consquences!)
This goes beyond party politics, and is a matter of national loyalty. Whoever the scum is, and the matter leaked is not the 100% retaliation story, (according to Wendell Golier on Fox news, but something that would have endangered our sons and daughters is the military) and fortunately the Post didn't print it...
I think public humiliation in the press is called for, and the culprit should be shamed by being named, and in my dreams, I see him or her wearing duct tape over all cranial orifices for the duration of his/her term, or until recalled by his/her constituents...
Just my 2 cents...
Naw, she represents Calipornia.
No $hit !!!
(check out his elegant writing style)
Yes, "LEAKY LEAHY"...........you forgot his descriptive prefix!!
I have warned everyone to utilize COMMON SENSE, and do not get sucked into a slander suit.
