Because you don't GIVE AWAY TATICAL INFORMATION! Not how many people we have there, how many tanks, planes or bullets. You don't let the bad guys know this publically!. This could have been put out in some type of security briefing in private without TELLING THE BAD GUYS what OUR STATUS IS!

"This could have been put out in some type of security briefing in private without TELLING THE BAD GUYS what OUR STATUS IS!"

Perhaps they didn't think a congressional House Panel were the bad guys. Should have know better I suppose. Incidently this looks like a security briefing to me. Were they supposed to lie to them?

I know congressional Reps lie to everyone else, but it might be that they thought they were doing the right thing by being honest. Would it be asking to much for the Congressional Reps to keep their mouths shut?
