Sen Feinstein Leaks Classified Information On US Drones

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A senior U.S. lawmaker said Thursday that unmanned CIA Predator aircraft operating in Pakistan are flown from an airbase inside that country, a revelation likely to embarrass the Pakistani government and complicate its counterterrorism collaboration with the United States.

The disclosure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, marked the first time a U.S. official had publicly commented on where the Predator aircraft patrolling Pakistan take off and land.

At a hearing, Feinstein expressed surprise at Pakistani opposition to the ongoing campaign of Predator-launched CIA missile strikes against Al Qaeda targets along Pakistan's northwest border.

"As I understand it, these are flown out of a Pakistani base," she said of the planes.Nice going senator.

“I have heard, from someone who is in a position to know, that the woman really is not all that bright.”

Funny you should mention that. I heard the same thing about Barbara Boxer too.

That’s ok. We all know how seriously the new administration takes national security.

So when someone detonates a suitcase nuke in DC during the State of the Nation address a few years from now, there will be a silver lining: we’ll be able to start over.

Her main talent is the ability to snag a succession of rich husbands;)

So, what level of classification was this little tidbit, and what sentence could be expected if a peasant was convicted of leaking such info?

I am increasingly hard-pressed to believe that any democrat is on our side anymore. She might be chastised mildly for violating security regulations, but I seriously doubt that the democrats in the senate will give her much grief, nor the democrat in the white house, either. If she has a husband, he might whine at her a little, but not much, or she might have him charged with violating the vagina monologue or something.

I think it is not nice to compare Senator Feinstein to an animal, it is really not fair to animals.

I was a Top Secret ControL Officer with a Top Secret SIOP ESI clearance. When I would grant access to base personnel I would counsel them regarding their responsibility to keep the information undercontrol and not divulge it to anyone not authorized access. I would obtain a signed certificate which the person would acknowledge, understand and agree to maintaining the secrets to which they were granted access to.

I also explained that the penalty for unauthorized disclosure could be a penalty of $5000 and up to 5 years in prison once they "leak" was investigated and the disclosure was evaluated.

Of course the DIMBULBs wouldn't understand what I just said and they don't give a damn since they are above the law!

Mr. Hussein Obama doesn’t care that this was uttered. This will give him an even better reason to withdraw from Afghanistan. A place where we recently upped our presence. Hell, Patrick “I’m really a Traitor” Leahy is STILL a U.S Senator after his intransigence/treasonous behavior from many years ago as a Senator. I believe they only scolded the dirtbag and sent him back to the Senate. He is also a wretched and smarmy human being as is Di-Fi, some people can’t be helped,though should be jailed at the very least.

When Dan Brown assassinated George Moscone (Mayor of San Francisco) and Harvey Milk (first openly gay supervisoer of San Francisco) Dianne Feinstein was in position to be the default Mayor of San Francisco. Note the popularity of the new movie ‘Milk’. It is about this incident. DiFi also was the only one apologizing, for our entire country, in Spring 2000 for our large surveillance plane colliding with the small one-seater from China. Her husband had business interests in China at the time. I will say it again, most Dems have NO CONSCIENCE.

I just don’t understand why these people undermine and seemingly hate their own country.

Please, don’t apologize for wishing that. I wish it everyday. It’s what they deserve.

She gave out critical information and screwed the police in their efforts to catch Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker) also. She was mayor of Sodom City at the time.

She’s stupid and she doesn’t know when to shut her trap.

I have a dim memory of a certain VP who was excoriated in the papers for allegedly outing a non CIA operative. So here we have a sitting senator who has betrayed the confidence of very country she has sworn an oath to defend.

Where is the outrage?

Where is the defenders of the Constitution?

Where are the ones who will stand for America!

There will be no outrage.
There is no constitution.
Soon there will be no America....at least as it was meant to be.
