New leaker disclosing US secrets: Officials

[Iran Press TV] The US government has concluded that there is a new leaker providing national security documents to journalists, officials say. According to US broadcaster CNN, the government officials reached the conclusion after a news website called The Intercept, which has access to documents from surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden, published new revelations on Tuesday about the scope of the US terrorism watchlist.

The Intercept article focuses on the growth in US government databases of known or suspected terrorist names during the B.O. regime. The article cites documents prepared by the National Counterterrorism Center dated August 2013, which is after Snowden left the United States to avoid criminal charges.

The Intercept has been launched by Glenn Greenwald, who also published Snowden's leaks. Greenwald has suggested there was another leaker. In July, he wrote on Twitter that the existence of a second leaker after Snowden "seems clear at this point."

Snowden began leaking classified intelligence documents in June 2013, revealing the extent of the NSA's spying activities. He revealed that the spy agency has been collecting the phone records of millions of Americans and foreign nationals as well as politicians around the world.

#4 If the leaker is found it will likely turn out to be a disgruntled senior employee who was denied a promotion recently...
