Loose lips sinks ships. History repeats itself. Sort of like the Clintons. Any bets on a third party candidate swinging the election in favor of Clinton?

This sort of thing really pisses me off. I’ve known plenty of people that work in the federal government in various agencies and they all agree that this sort of thing is why all the conspiracy theories are dead wrong. You have dumb asses that work there just like anywhere and it would be impossible to keep anything a secret for very long. I worked in a top secret facility while in the Navy so I can also tell you from personal experiences that WAY too many dumb asses get clearances.

Notice how this is big news because they assume someone in the Bush administration leaked this info? Well, whoever it is should be tried for treason, along with the entire democRat leadership AND some folks over at State and the CIA. When the hell are we going to enforce the Constitutional definition of TREASON? If it was Bush himself who leaked this, try the bastard. Too many leaks coming out of that sink hole called Washington, DC.

It could have been worse. Instead of shutting the network down they could have used it to distribute misinformation to intelligence agencies.

We still lost an important advantage needlessly but it could have been worse.

OK, they say they gave it to the deputy director, Michael Leiter. He’s responsible. Maybe he needs to be fired, after an investigation into with whom he shared it. This is a huge blunder and people need to be held to account.

This is eeire to me. How could all their communications go down virtually at the same time? Lots of people had their chit together, boys. That’s what’s spooky. I’m hoping they just go back to camel carriers, but I’m doubtful that will be that case.

Of course MSM would fuck it up, they want us to lose!

So let me get this straight.
Someone in the demedia leaks national security secrets such as, say electronic eavesdropping on terrorists techniques and they get a Pulitzer.
Yet, supposedly someone in the Bush Administration supposedly leaks eavesdropping on terrorists techniques to the media and the demedia are aghast?
What’s wrong with that hypocritical picture? Oh that’s right, it’s called Bush Derangement Syndrome - never mind.
I agree there is definitely some bucketheads that have high-level security clearance (Sandy Burglar comes straight to mind); however something smells about this story. Kind of like the smell of an upcoming 2008 Presidential election. Sit back and watch this story grow some enormous legs…

I think it’s eerie too. I don’t underestimate those bastards. They saw this coming for a long time.

While I have my support behind this Administration, I am not lacking to throw harsh criticism their way on many issues … Most especially my BIGGEST complaint is that NO SERIOUS attempts have been made in THIS country to investigate and/or prosecute the numerous leaks of vital information and secret programs during this war on terror post 9-11 … Had the media, such as the g-damn! NYTimes, done what they have (during the last few years of the war on terror) regarding such irresponsible actions as publishing secret programs during WWII, FDR would have had them shut down, if not imprisoned. The stakes are even higher this time around … due to the technology at hand. Priorities are DEAD wrong when they push a dead-horse, straw man of a non-story of a non-covert CIA worker celebrity-hungry babe’s non-outing as a high crime of breaching national security. Not only is this country laying its neck atop the chopping block, but the media seems to have its foot on our heads to keep us down … This Administration needs to grow some brass balls and slam into this leaking BULLSHIT! before the damn breaks and we are all drowned in the flood of denial.

www.hotair.com has a posting indicating that this story is bogus. ABC apparently already had the video by Sept 6—a day before SITE says it gave it to the Government.

Let’s look before we leap (to conclusions).

One can only hope that this was a canary trap on something that was compromised anyway. Or perhaps I’m delusional…

They don’t say anything worth listening to anyway. We just need to hunt them down and kill them. No network needed then.

SITE does a good job tracking AQ. But they are not the only intel asset that the US has. There are many intel assets. And as far as who is the better at Net Security? AQ will never surpass the US. Whatever AQ does, we counter.

However, leakers should still be prosecuting. This is war, not a game.

OK, so the MSM is trying to make the Bush Admin look stupid again by saying someone within “leaked” the info. The fact remains, too many “leaks” have occurred without any consequence. For instance, Mary McCarthy of CIA was fired in 2006, but not prosecuted for leaking classified info. She has a law license, but I wonder if she has gotten in trouble with the bar, because leaking classified info and getting fired for it is certainly something that would cause you to put your law license in jeopardy.

I guess that since the government spent so much time on that all important investigation as to who leaked Valerie Plame to the news we don’t have the time to investigate something really important such as traitors actions like this that get innocent Americans killed.

Valerie Plame - Remember her, She was the employee at the CIA that claims the Bush administration outed her undercover status. However, everyone in the MSM ignored the fact that she was not an undercover agent for 7 years and went to work at a building in the United States - not some hidden remote over seas location as one might think.
