White House leaks







By Associated Press, Updated: Thursday, June 7, 2:48 PM




WASHINGTON — Top Democratic and Republican lawmakers are vowing to pursue recent leaks of sensitive information they believe came from the White House on the covert drone and cyber wars against terrorism.

Leaders of the Senate and House intelligence committees said Thursday they are drafting legislation to further limit who can access highly classified information — and possibly impose new penalties for revealing it




.Senate Intelligence Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein says it likely will also require that the White House notify Congress when it decides to release classified information to the media.

Republican lawmakers have accused the White House of spilling national security secrets to boost the president’s reputation in an election year.

White House spokesman Jay Carney dismissed any suggestion that the White House has leaked sensitive information for political purposes.

I miss the days when every 15 days or so we had a news conference announcing a foiled huge terrorist attack or warnings of a new way to attack leading to an increase or justification to keep the country's 'danger' meter to 'be very afraid but we're protecting you' orange. John Ashcroft especially was reasurring every time he ran to a microphone to breathlessly pat himself on the back and Bush ever so tenderly on the most sensative part of ass.

We were saved from blown up building in Seatle on New Years Eve, could you even imagine the horror! New Years Eve is like sacred!
We were saved from blown up airports in NY. Apparently some retarded muslims were going to destroy an entire airport with a few pipe bombs, a hunting rifle and silly putty the FBI gave them. So thank the Republicans for that announcement, it kept the news channels busy for weeks.
And the warnings, the warnings, they were so delicious. Exploding pens, duct tape your windows, bags, look out for bags people, bags have bombs in them, omg, I see bags everywhere!
Dirty bombs, chemical weapons in malls, smallpox in schools, terrorists in your veggie drawer, danger everywhere.
Election coming up? Might be a good time to raise that terror alert, terrorists would probably like to attack during an election, yeah that's it.

But this Obama and his spiking the ball. What a jerk. How dare he list his administration's accomplishments, and during an election season of all times. Has he no shame!?

Gates to National Security Team on Osama Raid: 'Shut the F--- Up' 4:27 PM, Jun 6, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER

Robert Gates, the former defense secretary, reportedly blasted the national security team in the Obama White House for blabbing about the raid to kill Osama bin Laden. "Shut the f--- up," Gates told Tom Donilon, who is now Obama's national security adviser, according to a book by New York Times reporter David Sanger. Robert Gates.

“By Wednesday of that week, Gates went to see Donilon, offering up a barbed assessment of how the White House had handled the aftermath of the raid. ‘I have a new strategic communications approach to recommend,’ Gates said in his trademark droll tones, according to an account later provided by his colleagues. What was that, Donilon asked? ‘Shut the f--- up,’ the defense secretary said.”



Gates is no longer in the Obama administration, and has since voiced his displeasure over the bin Laden leaks. But this new detail signals a frustration above and beyond what has previously been expressed.

Feinstein Statement on National Security Leaks




Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, today released the following statement regarding recent leaks of sensitive national security information:

“I am deeply disturbed by the continuing leaks of classified information to the media, most recently regarding alleged cyber efforts targeting Iran’s nuclear program.

Today I sent a classified letter to the president outlining my deep concerns about the release of this information. I made it clear that disclosures of this type endanger American lives and undermine America’s national security.

I have spoken with Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, about the possibility of a joint hearing to investigate these leaks.

The Intelligence Committee will soon mark up the FY13 Intelligence Authorization Bill, and it is my intention to include provisions requiring:
A timely notification of authorized disclosures and the rationale for those disclosures;

More forceful investigations of unauthorized disclosures;

Additional authorities and resources for the U.S. government to identify and prosecute those who violate various federal laws and non-disclosure agreements by revealing highly classified information.
