Head down working but wanted to pass some important news articles covering events key events in the war on terror.
First off is another confirmation that US and UK forces are planning to expand their special operations activities inside Pakistan, with US forces authorized to fight along side Pakistan forces when dealing with key targets hiding [...]

Remember Mary McCarthy, the CIA employee in the Inspector General’s office who admitted to leaking classified information to the news media - for political purposes no doubt. My posts on the issue are few since the story went into the black hole of classified information. Here they are for reference and a reminder [...]

The Drudge Report has the scoop on this one.

The juror is partially right. Libby was caught up in the investigation - and it was an investigation that should have ended long before Libby and Rove were called to the stand. In the end, rather than admit there was nothing and that it had [...]

Great news as SCOTUS rejects NY Times efforts to be above the law and force their reporters to start giving up the goods on their sources!

In this interesting American Thinker article Rick Moran (home site here) notes that there is a lack of mutual respect and trust between the policy makers and the administration and the CIA - which has had its wings rightfully clipped for their failures in intel and failure to accept our democratic process. Rick tends [...]

A judge has pushed forward in a landmark case to prosecute people for leaking and publicizing classified national security information. The media and many other people are shocked that we actually try and enforce laws that are intended to keep our most valued secrets to inly those who need to know what is happening [...]

David Gregory sat in for Russert on MTP and asked Homeland Security head Chertoff a question about the coordinated efforts between the US and UK. Chertoff’s response was the ability to foil the attacks was due to trust and respect between the US an dUK intelligence agencies. Chertoff noted that the information was [...]

I know many UK and US administration officials have been noting that this group of people had been under surveillance for some time, but it is also clear the actual plans this group had only recently came to light. What is also clear is we could have missed this attack if they terrorists paid [...]

Why would Sydney Blumenthal risk everything to publicize the fact he has been leaked - and is publicizing - classified information? The leftwing, anti-Israel sites are lapping this up. But my guess is Sydney just won himself an invite to a Grand Jury looking into leaks at the NSA:
A report by columnist [...]

Russel Tice has nothing to do with the NSA leaks, he admitted that himself. He has used the NSA leak story as a way to publicize is his dismissal for stalking and abusive behavior aimed at an Asian-descent coworker whom he seems to have become obsessed (infatuated?) with even though investigations showed the woman [...]

Wild speculation alert. We have seen that the NSA-FISA story was a complete hash by the NY Times since the only thing the Times reported accurately was that the NSA listens in on terrorists communications overseas. The NY Times inaccurately claimed the NSA was going around FISA, when in fact it was the [...]

Finally some reports are coming out regarding the NSA leak investigation and their prime target for the leaks: Capitol Hill. Jay Rockefeller, who was interviewed for the NY Times story which exposed our efforts to identify terrorists here in the US ready to attack us, is probably on the interview list. From the [...]

OK, now the NSA is ’spying’ on Americans - its employees. Which, by the way is perfectly legal. Try dialing a 1-800 porn number or brousing some porn sites at work and see what level of scrutiny employees are subject to. Some new guidelines at the NSA want the spy agency to [...]

As if there are not enough lawyer jokes, Hal Raines of the NY Times states those who have leaked national security details regarding our efforts to stop terrorist attacks on US citizens:

One audience member asked about the role of media leaks. Raines opted not to go in-depth since he no longer is a working [...]

Walter Pincus should know better - and I am sure he does. But he obviously feels the need to establish journalism’s alibi for exposing Americans to bombings and attacks like we saw in India recently. He needs to appease the media’s conciences by making up some excuse this was all known and open [...]
