Krauthammer vs. Williams On Benghazi: Administration Has Shown It Will Leak Intel If It Helps Them
RCP Video ^ | 10-31-2012

((snip)CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER TO JUAN WILLIAMS: You think that the administration is withholding information that could serve them? This is an administration that when they did the raid on bin Laden, SEAL Team Six, and they had a ton of information -- a lot of that should never have been released, which served them well -- they released it almost immediately in a scandalously open way because it exposed a lot of methods and a lot of our people.

This is not an administration which has shown itself to be a keeper of secrets that would actually help it.

SEAL Team Six was set-up and ambushed later, their helicopter went down, 25 Navy SEALs from SEAL Team Six amongst the 30 American casualties (total of 38 killed) on Aug, 6, 2011.

From FoxNews: "It was the deadliest single loss for American forces in the decade-old war against the Taliban."

It may not be directly linked to WH leak(s), but they just couldn't stop yapping about the OBL kill in May.

I look at Juan Williams as a Joe Biden Jr. with his facial contortions and feigned outrages. He drives me crazy and I bet he does the same to Charles too as I see him roll his eyes at some of Juan’s more outrageous statements and positions.

Spot on by Charles. They wouldn’t hesitate to put out information, no matter HOW classified, if it benefitted them.

As usual. But the perspicacious Krauthammer is often pilloried on FR if he is perceived to stray from the orthodoxy.

Juan Williams is a part of the Obama Propaganda Ministry.

He is no more a journalist than I am.

Just another racist bigot working for Obama.

I don’t think Juan is very smart...I can’t imagine how someone thinks he is qualified to espouse an opinion. It is embarrassing, especially when positioned by someone like Krauthammer.

The wife and I cannot stand him. We turn the channel when he comes on. The same for Beckel.

Actually, it's kind of the opposite -- Krauthammer is an excellent analyst, but is sometimes blinded by "establishment" thinking, and shows a distaste for real grassroots conservatism.

I saw this and CK was perfect. Juan said the administration was still investigating. He thought probably the information they had would SERVE them well, but wasn’t releasing it because of the investigation. (Proving to Juan just how honest they are). CK jumped right on it.

Williams makes Baghdad Bob look almost believable. I'm surprised he's not on PMSNBC with his own show.

This is yet another time I wished Larry Klayman was an actual lawyer with actual lawyer skills.

Regardless, I hope and pray he and his Judicial Watch have total success pursuing their Florida citizen's grand jury case against the obama clan for those leaks and the deaths and harm done as a result.

JW simply plays the Useful Idiot role, he's nothing but a tool.

Worth all the contempt we heap on ‘old media’, he earned it enthusiastically.

"I don’t think Juan is very smart...."

Yet he draws a paycheck every week.

Just read his bio on Wikipedia. It says he was born in Panama, attended Haverford College, where he received a bachelors degree in philosophy.

It's funny to note that he actually wrote an article in the Washington Post, in defense of Clarence Thomas, against the sworn sexual harassment charges made by Anita Hill. "In the days after that article was published, it was revealed that several female employees of the Post had filed sexual harassment charges against Williams. The paper took disciplinary action against Williams and published an apology by him."

Whoda' thunk?
