Pattern of White House Leaks Threatens Nation’s Security

An accelerating series of leaks of classified information all have two things in common: They directly endanger national security, and the stories reporting on them paint President Obama as a hero.

News reports on Tuesday disclosed that the FBI is probing the leaking of information about a classified U.S. cyberattack program aimed at Iran’s nuclear facilities, but a close look at recent developments uncovers a broad and disturbing pattern of leaks of some of the nation’s most guarded secrets by the Obama administration.

John Brennan, Obama’s counterterrorism chief, set the tone a year ago when he went on national television immediately after the killing of Osama bin Laden and gave a highly detailed account of the top-secret operation.

Defense Secretary Bob Gates, for one, was shocked.

“Too many people in too many places are talking too much about this operation,” Gates said, adding that the level of disclosures and blabbing violates an agreement reached in the White House Situation Room on May 8, 2011, to keep details of the raid private.

“That lasted about 15 hours,” Gates said with chagrin.

Then came disclosures that directly revealed secrets helpful to the enemy, could endanger lives, and undermine trust by other countries and potential informants in U.S. intelligence operations.

Soon after the bin Laden raid, word began leaking to the press that a Pakistani doctor had helped the CIA operation.

Look at what they did for the doctor who dropped the dime on bin laden. Last time he or others do a favor for the US of A.

That obama? Ever so clear as to what his objectives are.

You know it is bad when even many Democrats on Capitol Hill are upset about this.

The media may not have to reveal their sources, but the folks in Hollywood using this material to make a movie might get a rude awakening if the FBI comes knocking.

how is it possible to keep the fact that Obama single handedly wrote the code and executed the delivery of the computer virus while dragging on a blunt, singing his own hip-hop song and rappelling down a line dangling from the super secret stealth blackhawk (which he designed in his spare time) and captured and killed Bin Laden all while directing drones using telepathy.. How is it possible to keep that a secret?

The dems, in their opinion win twice......they build obama up as some war time "mastermind", to maintain power and at the same time destroy our ability to act covertly.

The enemy is within.

Bill Kristal said tonight on Bret Baier that Gates went to the NSA office in the White House and told someone - I assume Brennan - to “shut the blank up” - those were exactly the words that Kristal used.

Brennan has appeared on TV more in the past few weeks than he has in the past year. WHY?

Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran to American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman. Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children in Shiraz, 1950, as part of a program where American doctors and agricultural experts sought to help jump-start developing countries' health and farming efforts. When she was five, the family moved to London for one year, returning to Chicago in 1963.[3]

Interesting.
