Emails show DOD analysts told to 'cut it out' on ISIS warnings; IG probe expands
Fox News.com ^ | November 23, 2015 | Catherine Herridge

Analysts at U.S. Central Command were pressured to ease off negative assessments about the Islamic State threat and were even told in an email to "cut it out," Fox News has learned – as an investigation expands into whether intelligence reports were altered to present a more positive picture.

Fox News is told by a source close to the CENTCOM analysts that the pressure on them included at least two emails saying they needed to "cut it out" and "toe the line."

Separately, a former Pentagon official told Fox News there apparently was an attempt to destroy the communications. The Pentagon official said the email warnings were "not well received" by the analysts.

Those emails, among others, are now in the possession of the Pentagon inspector general. The IG's probe is expanding into whether intelligence assessments were changed to give a more positive picture of the anti-ISIS campaign.

I prefer a 100 year imprisonment sentence at Fort Leavenworth for that arrogant pos occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Nothing will.

Actually, we don’t want him impeached as a martyr. Plus, it’s way too late.

We want him disgraced by his own legacy.

Earlier this afternoon Fox News showed a video where Prince Charles said that Global Warming was the cause to terrorism.

My thought was that he is a Royal idiot.

Just look at what the Prince gave up Diana for and that’s all the proof you need that he is/was an idiot...

The honorable Paul Ryan or someone needs to address the house and call for Obama’s resignation pronto - if honorable men / women are left on Capital Hill with courage of conviction and sincere interest in keeping their oath to the nation.

The thing is they are actually worse off, the hardworking productive have been hit just as hard by the economy and the lazy layabout welfare suckers are seeing increased competition from all the illegals that bathhouse barry has imported.

It is late November. Typically the riots occur in the heat of the summer.

It’s SHOWTIME!:

Didn’t know about it til he read about it, but “take full responsibility” then...
1) appoint a group to “get to the bottom of it”, or let a sub-committee do it
2) the MSM and Congress consider the issue fixed
3) hint that it was caused by existing conditions (Bush)
4) fire no one, change nothing
5) problems continue
6) when public again, it’s old news and has already been investigated

I wish... but the Senate could watch Obama sacrifice a toddler on the Senate Floor with a dull knife, and still refuse to carry out the impeachment “removal process”.

"High crimes and TREASON!"

It won't be treason until ISIS launches another attack in the US.

Then, even the left like Hollande in France, will demand answers and accountability.

Obama is aiding and abetting ISIS along with Turkey and the Saudis among others.

Weapons, money and free passage.

I was an Air Force intel officer, and I believe this report is likely to be true.

Obama is a lawyer.

Lawyers aren’t trained to solve problems.

Lawyers are trained to argue.

Obama argues, he doesn’t solve problems.

“These reports are wrong! We’re winning!”

Here’s a fun question. In this high tech world, the instant a Twitter account supports ISIS, why isn’t it blown away somehow with our tech?

In a war we have EA-6 Prowlers and such to jam enemy radio and radar. Twitter and Facebook needs the same treatment. Can anyone imagine in WWII an American company facilitating Nazi and Jap communications?

I think it would be a guaranteed result that if the first black president(not of course counting BJ clinton) was impeached there would be riots, it wouldn't matter what season it was to the feral blacks!
