Obama administration's intelligence leaks threaten country

Not to be an ass but I think I scooped this story a few days ago: http://285bound.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20618

No matter, the result is the same. Anyone who has access to classified information who mishandles it, shares it with adversaries, or otherwise compromises it is causing harm to the national security of our nation. The allegation that the current President and his staff are compromising classified data for political gain is very serious.

Now let's look at who will be heading up the investigation: Richard Holder, a man who can't seem to remember much of anything about his personal involvement in the Fast and Furious case or anything his staff might have had to do with it either. It stinks, I smell a cover up.

Assuming there are active leaks by Obama and his staff, when will this political "zit" burst and what will be done about it?

Well, that's your opinion, isn't it...And like other things, everybody has one...

If you care to do the research, there are laws that govern classified information and what individuals agree to do to protect it when they gain access to it. Google United States Code, titles 18 and 50, Executive Order 12333 and 12958. As amended, individuals found guilty of compromising classified information are subject to fines, imprisonment, and additional penalties as decided by a court of law including death.

Pullllleeeeeze.

Outing a covert CIA agent is classified information and should be punishable by jail time and a HUGE fine.

More distortion here? Valerie Plame had outed herself in Washington DC's Who Who. And she wasn't even an active operator.

In college, one person invited to speak on campus wrote a book outing agents and the Left could have cared less, but they put the Valerie story at the top of the page. The same Left that hates CIA agents.

What part of the left hates CIA agents?

That's a lie... But, of course you have a VALID source for that?

And you conservatives took the bait and let the socialist here hijack this thread and deflect you from the real subject. If there was nothing to this story, then I wonder why Holder ordered two special prosecutors on this matter? Simple as that.

Obviously there was a leak.....duh, just not in the White House that we know of. But keep playing the conspiracy game, it's kinda fun. Nothing is as simple as you would like it to be.

I don't think the leaks are as bad as the GOP says. Letting "slip" Stuxnet just makes the Iranians more paranoid about the next threat. But I do think it was done to trumpet Obama's foreign affairs because his domestic record is so weak.

Why do you think this was intentional? Because John McCain and the GOP say so. I can't find anything that points to this being done by the White House or the administration. In fact those that printed the leaks say it didnt come from them. So fred, what do you know that led you to the conclusion this was done to help Obama.
