[chitownchica]

Information from IG Report.

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta revealed the name of the Navy SEAL unit that carried out the Osama Bin Laden raid and named the unit’s ground commander at a 2011 ceremony attended by Zero Dark Thirty filmmaker Mark Boal, according to a draft Pentagon inspector general’s report obtained by a watchdog group.

Panetta also disclosed classified information designated as “top secret” and “secret” during his presentation at the CIA awards ceremony, says the draft IG report published Wednesday by the Project on Government Oversight.

But, but the Bush administration gave out the name of a desk bound CIA agent.

A few low info voters brought that up in the comments.  Still have to blame Bush.

They still blame Bush?????????? Gees, they are really bitter. They have not moved on.

[Eupher]

How 'zackly should I be surprised at this revelation?

 

At least Panetta knew enough information to actually disclose it.    Hell, Barry didn't know anything about anything and neither did Holder or Hillary.

They had to sneak in Valerie Plame and that evil Bush admin for  allowing it.

Dolts.

Not really...it was when it first started happening.  But this Administration leaks info like the Titanic.

They don't even have a passing association with OPSEC.

The families are in peril; it is that simple for terrorists to find them. 
For the rest of their lives, they will not be safe and neither will their children.

I thought Slo Joe Biden was the leak.

Anything to advance the Obama cause. Consequences be damned.

I hate this admin.

I agree...110%.  But the animosity the Liberals in general in the U.S. and this Administration specifically has for those of us in uniform makes MinDef Smith look like a war monger.

Leaking those names would be akin to the Ranga blurting out the names of the SAS troopers that took part in the Shah Wali Kot Offensive.

So do I, and so do (I suspect) most other members of this site.

I'm not into hate and it distracts from the consequences of their political agenda 'at all costs' strategy.  I feel sorry that most of President Obama's supporters lack the forthought to comprehend their freedom will be lost too. Ignorance is to be pitied

That is a sad truth funny

So if that works, then why haven't we prosecuted "Leaky Leahy" yet?  How many stars are on the wall at Langley because he flapped his cocksucker?

Nah, giving up national secrets and outing operatives is only bad when Republicans do it, dontcha know.

Most liberals are elitists (that I've known anyway) and they believe they are intellectually superior to the rest of America. They believe they would be part of the ruling class if the US became a socialist nation. And I'm not referring to the hand out class of democrats.

Coincidentally, your comment echoes a conversation I had last month with an acquaintance, who lived that life, albeit peripherally.

Stunningly, she had sincerely believed that Southerners just didn't know better, and it was Washington's duty to take of them -I guess, as you would a pet
