Is a D.O.D. Insider Leaking Classified Information to CNN?

#7  Interesting that President Obama's DoD doesn't get a pass from CNN

In this case, it's the effective part of DoD that CNN has deliberately undercut. No surprise, alas.

#6  Jesu, Joseph and Mary, when will we arrest and prosecute people, the leaker and the reporter, for doing this? God only knows what lives were risked or lost for this stupid bi*ch to get a story.

#5  Interesting that President Obama's DoD doesn't get a pass from CNN. And as Frank G. says, not many will have seen it. But, will the New York Times, et al, pick up on the story?

On Wednesday, CNN’s Pentagon correspondent, Barbara Starr reported on multiple, highly sensitive documents that had been “provided” to CNN and which detail valuable, strategic intelligence gathered by the Department of Defense in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It should come as no surprise that Starr made sure to highlight all of the juicy details. She not only revealed U.S. knowledge of a covert meeting between Hamid KarzaiÂ’s brother and Mullah Baradar (a top Taliban leader who was later arrested in Pakistan), as well as a secret audio message played to Taliban commanders from reclusive Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, but she went on to inform the entire world that the United States has a safe house in Kabul (used by members of the Haqqani terror network) currently under surveillance.

#1  Must have been a CNN hacker or wannabe, cause we all know that the CRU of the University of East Anglia files were hacked not leaked. Or is it when its something the MSM touches, its leaked vice when its something that appears on the net, it's hacked. /sarc off
