Intel Leakers, NYT , Dems - Wrong!
by Tina Grazier
The "Top Secret" stamp used to be serious business. It was respected by nearly every American and honored by every person with clearance. The current crop of leakers are obviously partisan rather than patriotic. Their only purpose: to change the way YOU vote. It is shameful and it needs to end.
The report has been declassified and can be found on the web. I found a few choice quotes posted by
"A large body of reporting indicates that people identifying themselves as jihadists is increasing...however, they are largely decentralized, lack a coherent strategy and are becoming more diffuse."
"Should jihadists leaving Iraq perceive themselves to have failed, we judge that fewer will carry on the fight."
"Threats to the U.S. are intrinsically linked to U.S. success or failure in Iraq."
"There is evidence that violent tactics are backfiring...their greatest vulnerability is that their ultimate political solution (shar'a law) is unpopular with the vast majority of Muslims."
"Progress toward pluralism and more responsive political systems in the Muslim world will eliminate many of the grievances jihadists exploit."
"...former member of the U.S. intelligence community. During a 20-year career in military intelligence, he served as an analyst, operations planner, flight commander, briefer, nuclear targeteer and aircrew member among other positions."

It is unfortunate that a few zealots on the left would leak information to gain political advantage at the the cost of American Security. But look who we are dealing with. It may be unfortunate but not particularly surprising. The fact that they had to select parts out of context is demonstrative of their intent.

Ron, You certainly are right about it not being surprising. The public needs to be better informed and more concerned with the low level of loyalty within the organizations and groups charged with defending Americans. I'm more concerned about the leakers than I am about the press. This should not be tolerated, no matter who is president.
