What's shocking is the US meddling in Iran.

As they should, but I trust Ron Paul a lot more than Romney and Tancredo to do the right job. And I think Ghouliani should wake up and realize what happens when U.S. policy is akin to poking a hornets nest with a short stick(and then he should apologize to Ron Paul!)!!

These two will say anything to grab a vote! We've got two wars going and now the blunderer-in-chief wants to get us into a third one! We have a right to know and these two clowns should keep their opnions to themselves!

Isn't the now not-so-covert action against Iran a declaration of war? This is insane! I think that Ron Paul is right about foreign policy! Sickening...

If it were such sensitive information, and would put the lives of Americans in jeopardy, then the person leaking it should be prosecuted, however, It sounds like the it's part of the propaganda they claim was authorized. It should be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Well, I can't understand why everyone is so up in arms at ABC for playing the traitor once again. They lead the pack in aid and comfort to the enemy. If they had been around when their hero FDR was running the country in 1943 he would have had them all put in prison or shot for their treasonous acts.

"What's shocking is the US meddling in Iran."

THAT'S a laugh! How do you think the Shah came to power?

Where were these two republican concerns about national security when Valarie Plume name was leaked. What hypocrisy!!!

While I don't like Romney and Tancredo, I think they have a point here. When I first read the story today before this artical was on the page I thought to myself that it didn't seem right that ABC is reporting about a covert operation. I don't know of any other country that would post national secrets and give away their plans. Plus it is putting american lives at risk!

I am surprised that such a provocative covert program could be exposed in the media like this. This is considered a wartime policy, so you would think the media would show some discretion. I disagree with Bill though... the old "they will leave us alone if we leave them alone" argument has long been proven to be hogwash. There are too many unresolved animosities (namely, the CIA action that removed Mossadegh and replaced him with the Shah, which we have forgotten about but the Iranians haven't) that continue to fuel current tensions.

Iran already knew what's going on. The whole purpose of this report is part of ABC's ongoing plan to tattle on anything this Republican administration is doing. They want so badly to bring Bush down. Bush could have saved the lives of a family of 6 from a burning home and ABC's headline would be "Bush Allows Home of Family of Six to Burn Down".

Bush is a war criminal and our people deserve to know how evil and how much destruction he is causing.

Is it any wonder so much of the world hate us?

Bush sucks! This is outrageous. We are failing in Iraq with those poor servicement and women losing their lives because W thinks his experience and reasoning is above the generals and experts who he summarily ignores. Now he wants to attack Iran---maybe I am wrong but it smells like an agenda. I really do not think that Bush and company care about the U.S. and the democrats seem to be helping them. I AM voting for Ron Paul--the only honest man out there!

The greatest threat to this country is "the enemy within".
At least we know who they are - all the three letter networks - who don't give a damn about national security. Covert? what's that?

you folks are insane. get over bush and think america first. reports like this undermine the u.s ...i don't care who is president.

I still think this is all part of a master plan. In no way, whatsoever, will the CIA allow this information to be leaked if they didn't want it to. There is a method to their madness, i'm sure. Don't misconstrue my post as one of that of a Bush supporter. I think the Bush family ar all shady bastards with Bush Sr being the shadiest of them all. Remember, he was head of the CIA before becoming president. You don't get to that position without stepping on a few hands.

I'm getting sidetracked here. Anyway, like i was saying, my opinion is that they intended on ABCnews letting this out. Don't worry people. Our gov't isn't THAT stupid!

Whomever leaked this to you guys should be tried for treason! I am sick and tired of the disgruntled people in our government leaking sensitive information to the media and the Justice Department doing nothing about it! You are all traitors to our country. No wonder we can't win the war. You all are going to lose it for us.

My guess is that the CIA has been in Iran since the day the Shah fell. Regardless of who is president, they seem to do their own thing. ABC's probably part of a CIA misinformation campaign to get us gullible people to beleive one thing while they do something completely different.

The demise of American Patriotism will be the demise of America if something doesn't change. Are people getting paid to "leak" information to the press? If so, that's TREASON!! If the CIA can't control their secret "intelligence" information any better than that, what good are they?? Someone needs to go to jail for leaking and someone needs to go to jail for distributing sensitive information to our enemies. And the Press as a whole needs to either become Pro-American or move to Iran and see how much "freedom" they will have!! If the American People want to continue to have a Free Country, they had better wake up and make some changes in the Government "of the people, by the people and for the people". Washington definitely resembles the "Keystone Cops" these days!!!

It becomes clear that this deliberate "leak" came directly from the CIA and/or the Whitehouse. I sense Dick Cheney's hand pulling the strings once again.
