It's beginning to look as though the first week in September was one long Maalox Moment for the the White House.

On September 4, the FT broke the story of how the Chinese PLA had managed to hack and disrupt some significant Pentagon networks. The word "Cyberattack" was bandied about, and it was a very embarrassing day all 'round.

On September 5, authorities in Germany and Denmark arrested a totoal of 11 AQ types who had plans to make mischief somehow. They had been under surveillance and penetrated for a very long time, but the arrests appeared to be executed hastily. Up to nine other linked suspects in Germany evaded capture.

On September 5, three Air Force officers told the Army Times about the B-52H that had flown across the country a few days earlier carrying several honest-to-god nuclear tipped cruise missiles for reasons that still remain unclear. Whether it was a mistake or mischief, it was a horrifying event and a political nightmare for the White House.

Bush LEAKED the video and EXPOSED our intelligence capabilities to Al Qaeda? Isn't that TREASON? Like giving nuclear secrets to the Russians?

I usually don't have an issue with news organizations reporting just about anything they want, but I'll make an exception this time. What purpose does making public the fact that Al Qaeda hasn't closed their security holes serve? Why don't you just send them an email saying "Thanks for not paying attention to US news reports. By the way, we can still get our info the way we've been doing for years."?

So Rita makes money off of selling the info she collects (as reported in an earlier story)? Gee who else do we know that is making money off of this war, conflict,event,happening...whatever. Can you say______sure I knew you could.

Or treason like outing an undercover CIA agent? WHO are those people in the White House and what have they done with our country?

Way to disregard Operational Security. "Loose lips sink ships" as one of the old OPSEC phrases go.

If Billy was still in office, he would have given them freely.

No, treason like saying the "War is lost" while we have young people under threat. Or, if you like, treason; "A good report from Iraq will be bad for us".

The questions are:
The Bush Administration, “mother of all dummies” or “father of most evil”? Preserving Al Qaeda, to justify its own existence. Wouldn't that fall under the category of "most evil"?

Hey Fearmonderx

You forgot to throw in Hallibuton and the Zionists. What abouy Cheney's wonderous Hurricane Machine that took out the Chocolate City, or Blood for Oil, or BushCo lied - People died... Come on don't cherry pick the talking points. Put them all out there.

@wilder--"Bush" did not personally leak
anything. In fact this appears to be little more than a publicity stunt on the part of SITE. To explain they are
an independent company. This video would have been shown anyways, SITE just
got to see it before it was shown to western sources/media outlets (due to infiltration of jihadist web sites etc..
The intelligence community ALSO got this video, SITE was just trying to beat them to the punch. Then they complain when "they" are the source. The media was going to report anyhow, and it is arrogent for them to assume they beat our guys. The only thing I learned is that our government is outsourcing intelligence gathering. A little disconcerting....

"Or treason like outing an undercover CIA agent? "

Wow, you HAVE gone off the deep end. Too bad. A non-agent being non-outed in a non-secret, non-supervised, non-mission she sent her non-interesting husband on, and you want to carry their water. I usually root for the underdog, but only because they are *worth* rooting for.

Why do people complain when somebody mentiones anything that threatens the US troops in Iraq like SGT Fury: We have young people under threat. They are there by our choice. If you don't like it, bring them back. Simple answer to your concern.

So we have traitors in government and a news media that will print anything no matter how many people die because of it. What else is new?

Neo--READ THE ARTICLE PLEASE. NO ONE LEAKED ANYTHING CLASSIFIED. THE VIDEO
GOT RELEASED EARLY TO THE PRESS.
PERIOD. IT WAS GOING TO BE RELEASED ON SEPT. 11TH TO THE MEDIA ANYWAYS!!! SITE GOT IDENTIFIED AS THE SOURCE OF THE EARLY LEAK--AND THEY BLAME PEOPLE WITHOUT PROOF...READ THE ARTICLE PLEASE.

Those people here defending the Bush administration's outing of a CIA agent for purely POLITICAL PURPOSES don't deserve to be Americans. They support the undermining of our intelligence agents for POLITICAL PURPOSES and are traitors to their country. What vile people.

This story is irrelevant. What difference does it make if our government contract techies get a video early? The way to win the war on terror is to wipe out the Al Queda leaders and sanctuaries in Pakistan.

We ought to be able to figure out their methodology...we probably taught / trained them.

Do, you really think after 6 years, the governments really want Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden. When we have wanted someone bad enough in the past we fixed their wagon, so to Speak. Example Saddam, Noreaga, Qaddafi, shall I go on. What I am saying is wake up and smell the coffee. Osama Bin-laden will die of Natural causes, and not because we caught him. remember. We created these people when we needed the communist defeated. We gave them the training they needed. And just so, you know The Bin-Laden family owns too much of the us to ever allow their sibling too be apprehended. if this does not at least clue you in, Then keep hoping for the best is all I can Say and keep your Sheltered lives marching on. Row when your government tells you to row. smile when they tell you to smile and fear when they tell you to be in fear. Take care My Country men. Fear me not I am the HART AND SOLE of this Country. I am American.

There are thousdands of CCNP's and CCIE's in Pakistan and India. They teach the stuff in college like we do history... Of course there going to have the edge on us when it comes to the internet.
