Why is the White House undermining it's own intelligence sources?

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071009/pl_afp/usattacksintelligenceleak

Why would BushCo© leak the last Al Queida video and cut off a good intel source? Are they really with us or against us?

Lon - Yeah, I'm on my side. This isn't about sides, it's about incompetence. If I give the WH info I have and ask them not to release it yet and by the end of the day it's all over the media...where's the leak coming from? Duh!

J. Galt -Yeah and your ilk hangs on every word, promise and defense that these morons in the White House poop down your ever open throats. Fools.

Answer 1

Nero is playing his fiddle as Rome burns.

Answer 2

Are you really niave enough to believe that everyone who works in government blindly follows the President? Do you believe that there are no self-serving idiots out there who wouldn't release top secret information just to serve their own purposes, anything from making themselves look more important than they are, all the way up to and including giving a foreign power top secret guided missile technology in return for campaign contributions (like Bill Clinton did with the Chinese)? I seriously doubt that the person who leaked this information consulted with the President beforehand.

Answer 3

That article doesn't prove the White House did or didn't do anything. Why are making up conclusions to an article that had none? Or did you think no one would take the time to read the article and would just assume your question had validity because you provided a source?

Answer 4

Just cause one guy said it was the white house you believe them? I'm sure Bush ordered it leaked, yeah right? You people are so easily dooped by the media. Funny yet sad.

Answer 5

Private contractors working with the U.S. government to monitor and track al Qaeda Internet communications say their windows into the various operations are not closed, despite two published media reports to the contrary.

"The sources, methods and techniques utilized by IntelCenter to collect terrorist video material remain intact," said Ben Venzke, the CEO of IntelCenter, a private contractor providing counterterrorism support work to the intelligence community.................

"It's a cat-and-mouse game," said Mansfield. "They know we're watching them so they move around. I'm reprogramming my search tools at least once a week."

Rita Katz declined to comment to ABCNews.com.

Answer 6

That didn't take long for the Libs to dance away to Con bashing.....trying to divert the fact that the Clinton Criminal Chronicles are exposed and showing.Nice try.......it gets exposed everytime a video is aired! NEXT!!!

Answer 7

I would be curious to know who told you that they are the ones who released it, no one else seems to know. The tape was sent to both Harry reid (D) and Nancy Pelosi (D) and then was released by them to the media, this is traitorism of the highest degree, they should be tried and summarily executed!~1

Answer 8

A private investigation firm is not "it's own intelligence source"
While the private investigation firm got burned and THINKS the administration did it, there is currently no proof they did.

Answer 9

Not to worry....... there's no intelligence in the White House. Bush has never been known for having good sense or judgement before talking to the press.

Answer 10

They've denied that they leaked it. While that doesn't make it true, the fact that your suggesting it is regardless of facts shows whos side your on.
