| In Classified Cyberwar Against Iran, Trail Of Stuxnet Leak Leads To White House | |
| 2013-08-20 | |
| [WashTimes] The Obama administration provided a New York Times reporter exclusive access to a range of high-level national security officials for a book that divulged highly classified information on a U.S. cyberwar on Iran's nuclear program, internal State Department emails show. The information in the 2012 book by chief Washington correspondent David E. Sanger has been the subject of a yearlong Justice Department criminal investigation: The FBI is hunting for those who leaked details to Mr. Sanger about a U.S.-Israeli covert cyberoperation to infect Iran's nuclear facilities with a debilitating computer worm known as Stuxnet. A New York Times story adapted from the book, "Confront and Conceal: Obama's Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power," quotes participants in secret White House meetings discussing plans to unleash Stuxnet on Iran.

| #1 who cares if we throw away an important tool in keeping the nukes out of Iran's hands? It's more important to make Champ look good for a news cycle! |
