White House Leaks Classified Information to Hollywood
Arutz Sheva ^ | 24/5/12 | Rachel Hirshfeld

The Obama administration reportedly leaked classified information to filmmakers on the raid by U.S. Navy SEALs that killed Osama bin Laden.

According to documents released by the Judicial Watch media watchdog, the White House released the sensitive information for a film which was first scheduled to be released October 12, just in time to boost the president’s image shortly before the November elections.

Sony Pictures has since pushed the release back to December.

White House officials encouraged the filmmakers to incorporate Obama administration talking points in the film, including the “gutsy decision” to raid the Osama compound.

Pentagon Press Secretary George Little told NBC News on Tuesday that the Defense Department and other agencies regularly engage with the entertainment industry to inform book and movie projects.

"Many individuals in the industry expressed interest in developing projects on what can only be described as one of the top intelligence and military successes of a generation," Little said. "Our engagement on these projects was driven by a desire to inform the public, not by timing."

However, John Brennan, President Barack Obama’s chief counter-terrorism adviser, and Denis McDonough, Obama’s deputy national security adviser, met with screenwriter Mark Boal, The Daily Caller reported.

“They were forward leaning and interested in sharing their point of view,” Boal said.

I thought people were tried, convicted, and executed for doing this.

That’s so 20th Century. Get with it. If you do that to a foreign country, it’s treason. But if you do it to Hollyweirdos, you’re just being politically a stoot. If only Jules and Ethyl had gone through the proper channels, and sold the bomb plans to MGM Studios...sob.

When the Obama administration gives away classified information...It is not a LEAK, it is TREASON!

Now we know what he actually meant about TRANSPARENCY in the White House!

Yep, Obama will see to it that his Hollywood big donors with the deep pockets have all the secret documents they want to jeopardize our national security and the lives of those who work to protect us...but no one can see his:

Actual Birth Certificate (not some produced copy),
His College Applications,
His College Grades,
His Health Records,
His Passport Applications of the past
All the Different Names He has Used - and why so many different Social Security Numbers,
Whether he renounced his Indonesian citizenship and reaffirmed his U. S. citizenship...and when,
His Selective Service Records,
The amount he really received/paid back for "College Loans",
His Illinois BAR Application, and...
The real reason he was asked by the BAR to resign his legal license (and why Michelle also was asked to resign hers)
etc., etc., etc.

No...all those "important" (to hide Obama's frauds and lies to the public) documents and records are sealed from the public view.

Calling him a rookie gives rookies a bad name.

He’s an agent provocateur, plain and simple.

One needs to wonder if, in this case, the general public will secure information about the Osama killing directly from a hollywood movie, since some of it is classified. Of course, it will still be difficult to sort out the true from the made up since hollywood is involved.

I wonder if there has ever been a hollywood movie produced just before an election that that stars a sitting POTUS? Also, how are they going to fit Obama into the team in Pakistan and turn him into the shooter?

Will the end scene have the Pakistan Doctor, that helped America, going to jail for 30+ years? That’s doubtful.

Turning a deep-six undercover operation into a bald-faced lying propagandistic “Sieg Heil!”

There were Primary Colors and Wag the Dog in 1996, but nothing ever starred the actual POTUS, except for Reagan long before he ever was into politics.
