Uh, About That “Leak” That Burned Our Al Qaeda Intel
From The Jawa Report:
I know what the NY Sun and Washington Post are saying about a major source of intel being burned by a leak, but it just isn’t so. Rita Katz and the SITE Institute do a great job, but attributing the interception of this video to them is just false. Sure, they intercepted the video–as did Laura Mansfield and other groups that do similar work as SITE, but let’s check the claim out.
WaPo:
at 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, [SITE] notified the Bush administration of its secret acquisition.
And in the Sun article:
Rita Katz, said she personally provided the video on September 7 to the deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Michael Leiter.
So, SITE claims they are the source of the video given to the White House. Rita claims she personally gave the video to authorities on September 7th. But let’s take a quick look at the very bottom of the translation of the video leaked by ABC’s Blotter:
Date reads 9/6/07
That means that the White House had a translation of the video a full 24 hours before SITE intercepted it. Apparently, our intel guys are better than we thought.

But that means we still have a leaker in the administration, right? When the f**k are we going to go after and prosecute leakers as traitors. And, for that matter, what about the entire democRat leadership? They have been giving aid and comfort to the enemy for nigh on 6 years now.
