Dishonorable Disclosures

Intelligence and Special Operations forces are furious and frustrated at how President Obama and those in positions of authority have exploited their service for political advantage. Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk.

The unwarranted and dangerous public disclosure of Special Forces Operations is so serious -- that for the first time ever -- former operators have agreed to risk their reputations and go 'on the record' in a special documentary titled "Dishonorable Disclosures." Its goal is to educate America about serious breaches of security and prevent them from ever happening again. You can view the full documentary at http://youtu.be/X-Xfti7qtT0 .

Use of military ranks, titles & photographs in uniform does not imply endorsement of the Dept of the Army or the Department of Defense. All individuals are no longer in active service with any federal agency or military service.

No concern, Barack has been looking into those leaks....and sealed the files.

These SEALS must be racist.

So the guys who are upset they're being identified appear in a documentary?

The story behind the story.... (or the story the Righties didn't want you to know)

O’Brien lays waste to anti-Obama Navy SEAL’s claim of ‘non-partisanship’

It seems that Soledad O’Brien, the host of CNN’s “Starting Point,” is on a roll. Each day brings another ill-prepared surrogate from one of the presidential campaigns before her, and each day she proceeds to cheerfully eviscerate their talking points before sweetly thanking them for coming on the show and sending them on their way.

On Friday’s edition of “Starting Point” O’Brien challenged “OPSEC” or “Operational Security group” spokesperson and former Navy SEAL Scott Taylor’s purported “non-partisan” status.

“I know you know some of the criticism and it is that, even though you claim to be nonpartisan, that this group is actually very partisan,” she said. “You’re a Republican, you ran for Congress in 2010 in Virginia’s second congressional district. You have a rep in your group who worked for the Bush administration, you share office space with Republican groups.

All of which does nothing to change what Panetta and Feinstein said.

Go Seals! Sad when the White House is a major source of leaks.

I finally had some time over the week to view this video and offer my opinion:

What exactly was leaked? What certain methods? And how has it and how could it affect our abilities to use covert and intel gathering operations?

*We knew and they knew of Seal Team 6 before the Bin Ladin raid. (Seal Team 6 eventually outed themselves in a documentary.) And now these former opertors have disclosed their own identity and could be targets by their own fault and could have possibly endangered other former and current operators.
*We knew/they knew of the use of drones. Drone technology is not new and is being used by other countries
*We knew/they knew they were using couriers for intel and that cell phones was most likely the way to track them. That's why they already knew to remove batteries and such to cover their tracks.
*We knew/they knew Bin Laden was most likely in Pakistan. Even the Pakistanis knew though they won't admit it.
*After the crash of the stealth chopper, the Pakistan army found the remains and then told the world.
*Leak of the fact that Osama had been captured or killed. Wouldn't his family, security and again the Pakistani army been able to know this info immediately after the raid?
* Don't you think they would expect the Seal team to grab any intel materials (documents, maps, computers, etc) from the compound? The clock was ticking on the intel validity from the moment the first helicopter was heard.
* How they got there and how many were invloved? Not too big of a surprise how they got there when the helicopters were heard and one lost on site. Then again that was also betrayed in the Seal's own documenatary too. Surviving witnesses would have been able to give the unit strength. The Seal team could have killed all the witnesses or leveled the compound with an airstricke afterwards to reduce accountability.
*Pakistani doctor identified as intel source and it will be harder to recruite future stool pidgeons - in my opinion it is collatoral damage. There is absolutely no way of knowing if he was not already a suspect or if he would have eventually turned on us in a future mission. Money talks in impoverished nations and there will always be a stool pidgeons for the right price.
*Stuxnet -Who else would the Iranians blame but Israel and/or US?
*Kill list - What the heck was that deck of cards that the Bush Admin. used during the Gulf War? It was a kill list. Every Administration has a kill list, get over it.
*Hollywood leaks - any proof that what was relayed to writers and directors was more than what was given to the press or less than what the Seals gave as part of their conrtibutions to the movie?

Just my opinion, but this video looks like a swiftboat smear tactic.

Sounds like their own commander spilled the beans:

Chuck Pfarrer was a commander in the elite US Navy Seal Team Six whose members killed the world’s most wanted man, Osama bin Laden, in a mission this past May. Now, a new book authored by Pfarrer is set to spark some controversy as it is contradiction with several points of the original account of the raid in Abbottabad.

Pfarrer bases his account in “SEAL Target Geronimo” on face-to-face interviews he claims to have had with several men involved in the raid. The book has created controversy, as CNN writes that a U.S. official told the network that every member of the Navy SEAL team on the raid has been questioned by superiors about whether they spoke to Pfarrer.

Is any of this info classified?

Bin Laden raid tell-all author revealed, questions raised whether ex-Navy SEALs have freedom of speech

The author of a recently announced insider account of the raid that killed Usama bin Laden has been identified to Fox News as a 36-year-old former Navy SEAL Team 6 member from Alaska who also played a role in the high-profile rescue of an American captain kidnapped by Somali pirates.

The book, "No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden," is set to hit shelves on Sept 11. It is penned under the pseudonym "Mark Owen," according to the publisher, but multiple sources told Fox News his name is in fact Matt Bissonnette, 36, of Wrangell, Alaska. Bissonnette could be exposing himself to legal trouble, as the Pentagon has not vetted the account.

The tell-all book also has apparently upset a large population of former and current SEAL members who worry about releasing information that could compromise future missions. One Navy SEAL told Fox News, "How do we tell our guys to stay quiet when this guy won't?" Other SEALs are expressing anger, with some going so far as to call him a "traitor."

And Col. Tim Nye, a Special Operations Command spokesman, said the author "put himself in danger" by writing the book.
