Missed? Perhaps, but this story of complacency by President Barack Obama's administration has certainly been under-reported thus far.
On Fox News Channel's July 28 broadcast of "Studio B," the network's judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano discovered a potential lapse in responsibility by the Obama White House. For the broadcast of his July 31 Fox Business Network show "FreedomWatch," Napolitano interviewed Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks.org, the so-called "whistleblower site" which released tens of thousands of classified files about the Afghanistan war. During the interview, Napolitano reported Assange revealed he offered the Obama White House the documents, but they were unresponsive.

If true, this is a epic failure by the Obama White House.
Add it to all the other “epic failures” of these evil bastards.
Vacationer-in-Chief.
Just too busy saving.....
Good grief.
Oh, and he will not rest until...!
Bonus - /s
In the United States I was born in, he’d be back in Kenya by now.
The Assange interview will air Saturday, July 31 at 10 a.m. on the Fox Business Network, according to Napolitano.
That's 10am EDT I assume.
“If true, this is a epic failure by the Obama White House.”
Agreed, if true. The media is becoming less tolerant of the Obama admin, as the people figure out how the to weasel branches of government are selling the country down the river.
To retain whatever tiny shreds of credibility they may still possess, the media is more likely to start airing these sorts of failures. Of course, there are some organizations that have gone so far around the bend with the Libs/Obamites, that they really have nothing to lose by continuing the silent treatment. Chances are, those segments are dead anyway. My powers of prognostication are very poor when it comes to detemining timeframes. Most of media is eventually on the way out, in their present form.
Hopefully, come November, there will be a flock of Lib pols heading in the same direction.
Oh yeah, while Obama sat around for two weeks knowing NATIONAL SECURITY documents were about to be published, he found the time to alertly fire Shirley Sherrod within hours, and to then alertly reverse himself.
This is why Hillary recently stated that Pakistan knows where OBL is.
Just curious... if the White House said “yes send over the documents” what would that have said about the administration in and of itself. If they found themselves in possession of secret intel, it could have been a further violation of federal law. Perhaps not for The President but maybe for staffers. And what could the White House have gained by requesting the documents?
I have no love for this administration’s policies but I gotta think responding to Wikileaks is a no-win proposition.
If this is true, OBama must be tried for treason.
If my kids were serving now, I’d tell them to desert.
I believe I read that Gibbs (?) said that the WH made no effort to restrain the docs.
Some of the information contained in these documents was names, locations and even family member names of informants that gave information to NATO to track down terrorists in Afghanistan.
These people lives along with their families are now in danger.
I see. Thanks for clarifying that. The Wikileak guy could have/should have redacted names. definitely not cool and even against his interest to put people in harms way.
I was mainly focused on what the White House could have gained. I think there was no way to win. Could the WH work with him knowing he was going to publish classified info? I doubt it, even if they were just trying to protect people it would have looked like cooperating with the release of classified data. No win for them either way.
