WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of former U.S. intelligence and Special Forces operatives is set to launch a media campaign, including TV ads, that scolds President Barack Obama for taking credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden and argues that high-level leaks are endangering American lives.
Leaders of the group, the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund Inc, say it is nonpartisan and unconnected to any political party or presidential campaign. It is registered as a so-called social welfare group, which means its primary purpose is to further the common good and its political activities should be secondary.
In the past, military exploits have been turned against presidential candidates by outside groups, most famously the Swift Boat ads in 2004 that questioned Democratic nominee John Kerry's Vietnam War service.
The OPSEC group says it is not political and aims to save American lives. Its first public salvo is a 22-minute film that includes criticism of Obama and his administration. The film, to be released on Wednesday, was seen in advance by Reuters.
"Mr. President, you did not kill Osama bin Laden, America did. The work that the American military has done killed Osama bin Laden. You did not," Ben Smith, identified as a Navy SEAL, says in the film.
"As a citizen, it is my civic duty to tell the president to stop leaking information to the enemy," Smith continues. "It will get Americans killed."

BTTT
bin laden was killed in 2003, the staged event is as authentic as obama is.
FYI: Article and comments.
I agree with you. There was something fishy about Barry’s attack on bin Laden and it wasn’t the Navy throwing “Osama” in the ocean. That whole gig was a fraud.
Ouch! That HAS to leave a mark!
wow....powerful
Bingo
Thank you for this posting.
It made my day. No, my year!
How I wiah that were true, but there are so many internal contradictions that the whole scenario is absurd.
Starting with : who was president in 2003?
Give me a break.
OPSEC Bump...Sounds like they’re patriots as were the Swift Boat Veterans.
If 0bama killed Osama, then Nixon walked on the moon.
Nothing in the way of type of unit, unit name, or even the branch service involved should have ever been released. Not even Carter or Clinton would have stooped that low. It didn’t just put those involved at risk but also their families. POTUS, Sec of Defense, nor DOD, had any right or business putting them at risk for any propaganda reason. They have a right to be angry.
Oooh, this will leave a mark!
Its first public salvo is a 22-minute film that includes criticism of Obama and his administration. The film, to be released on Wednesday, was seen in advance by Reuters.Interesting, in this report, the unidentified film was seen by Reuters and is to be released on Wednesday (tomorrow). No name for the film, no preview or link to the film site, so, I went looking for it online. Several other similar reports about this actually identify the film, yet provide no details about it's release . . .and still no preview.
OPSEC spokesmen said the group has about $1 million at its disposal and hopes to raise more after the release of its mini-documentary, entitled "Dishonorable Disclosures," which aims, in spy-movie style, to document a recent spate of leaks regarding sensitive intelligence and military operations. Following the film's release, OPSEC's spokesmen said, the group expects to produce TV spots on the anti-leak theme that will air in a number of states, including Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina and Nevada - key battleground states.Go ahead and google 'film', [or 'movie', or 'documentary'] & "Dishonorable Disclosures" to see what you can find . . . nothing, not even on YouTube.
If this documentary film is going to be released tomorrow, why is it so difficult to find any information on it online? Why hasn't any of the reports linked to the site for the movie information?
Where is this film going to be released? online? in theatres? Without a trailor or advertising or a website providing details, release info, locations etc?
Does this seem unusual to anyone else?
Useless. They should render it down down to :15 sec, :30 sec, and :60 sec ads if they want to be effective.
That is strange. I just wandered Google for a few minutes and there are several news articles about it, but they are all linked to this Reuters article.
will the truth ever be known????
why was his body never shown? why was his dip in the Ocean never filmed??
too many questions..NO answers...
Swift Boat II.
It’s about time.
