I have a question. Why would this information be revealed in the first place....and, of all places, on Good Morning America? Is this to ‘prepare us’ or to justify a possible US strike on Iran?
Will Bari contemplate a spy for terrorist trade?
When you apply for life insurance never put down your job as a CIA spy in the Middle East.
“Espionage is a risky business,” a U.S. official briefed on the developments told ABC News, confirming the loss of the unspecified number of spies over the last six months.
“Many risks lead to wins, but some result in occasional setbacks,” the official said.
Especially if you are unlucky enough to have worked for such a hostile naive arrogant irreverent authority-challenged America-hating group such as the obama regime and the incompetent homo-angst dominated Rodham State Department.
I can see these oily bitter weasels saying “Take THAT Petraeus.”
I do believe the only secrets these people have kept is Moochelles weight and vacay budget, Barry’s birf certificate, Reggies real relationship with the pos, and who was aboard Air Force One for the 911- re-created joyride that terrorized Manhattan in fall 2009.
While it is true that our “covert friendlies” have been caught from time to time, it is also true that the CIA has been waxing political in recent years, and their competence has been eroded by that unfortunate fact.
Baloney. Occam's Razor says: We have a mole in the CIA or the State Department. Uncovering a "ring" is very difficult. Much more difficult than uncovering a "spy". I don't buy it.
I don't. I suspect a mole...or a whole massive series of moles. And who knows how far it goes?
This is not tin foil hat crap. Big time problems...we are going to have to get a government serious about our national security needs.
ya....Obama needs to send more hundreds of millions of dollars to the Pali terrorists.....
My guess there is a mole in the White House.
Brace for the worst but pray for the best. Prayers for our brave agents and their families. Tremendous fear for their safety and lives.
Well, there goes the revolution. Let’s bomb Iran and Lebanon.
Oh look - they just reopened the Natalie Wood case, turducken is all the rage, Michelle got booed, Beiber is not (I repeat, is not) a dad, they just had AMA, and you expect me to know about this?! The media will cover it when they can figure out it is George Bush’s fault.
The media will not do any serious investigating of the Obama admin regarding this..... They will wait until Obama shows them that this is all Bush’s fault then they will blame Bush and praise Barry.... The Kremlin had Pravda, the White House has the MSM.
They'll play hell trying to get anyone to help us now.
FUBO GTFO! 425 Days until Noon Jan 20, 2013
If the Country can survive that long!
According to current and former US officials, CIA operations in Lebanon have been badly damaged after the resistance movement identified and captured a number of US spies this year, AP reported.
They have also said that CIA officials have secretly been scrambling in recent months to protect their remaining spies, foreign assets or agents working for the agency, before Hezbollah finds them.
Giving credit to Hezbollah for uncovering the espionage rings, the US officials blamed negligence by CIA managers and sloppy practices used by the spies for their networks being discovered in Lebanon, which is considered a key watching post for collecting crucial intelligence on Middle East countries including Syria and Iran.
It remains unclear whether anyone has been or will be held accountable in the wake of this counterintelligence disaster.
Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah in June announced the arrest of several spies affiliated with the CIA, who had infiltrated the ranks of the group. Nasrallah said that CIA officers, posing as diplomats at the US Embassy in Beirut, had recruited them in early 2011.
At the time, US officials denied the report, but now current and former US officials concede that Hezbollah busted several US spy rings and arrested a number of American spies, which affected CIA espionage activities in Lebanon.
"Beirut station is out of business," said one source using the CIA terminology.
In April 2009, Lebanon launched a nationwide crackdown on spy cells, mostly Israeli networks, arresting nearly 100 people, including members of the country's security forces and telecommunications personnel, on suspicion of espionage for Mossad.
A number of the suspects have admitted to their role in helping Israel identify targets inside Lebanon, mostly belonging to Hezbollah, which Tel Aviv heavily bombed during its 2006 war against the country.
If convicted, the spies will face life sentences with hard labor. Should they be found guilty of contributing to the loss of Lebanese lives, the agents will face capital punishment.
How is this a mystery? Obama ‘gave them up’
......
So Panetta is out there telling Israel not to attack Iran, when our eyes have been more or less blind on the situation for months.
