Scooter Obama Outs Navy SEAL Team 6 Leader For Movie
IBD Editorials ^ | May 24, 2012 | Editor

National Security: New documents obtained by a watchdog group show our commander in chief gave the name of a Navy Seal Team 6 commander to the makers of a movie about Osama bin Laden. Valerie Plame, call your office.

Those documents, recently obtained by Judicial Watch, reveal that the Obama administration not only spiked the football and did an end-zone dance after the Navy SEALs dispatched bin Laden from his Club Pakistan abode, but was also willing to expose to the other side our playbook and the name of a SEAL commander.

"These documents, which took nine months and a federal lawsuit to disgorge from the Obama administration, show that politically connected filmmakers were given extraordinary and secret access to bin Laden raid information, including the identity of a SEAL Team 6 leader," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

"It is both ironic and hypocritical," Fitton noted, "that the Obama administration stonewalled Judicial Watch's pursuit of the bin Laden death photos, citing national security concerns, yet seemed willing to share intimate details regarding the raid to help Hollywood filmmakers release a movie 'perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost' (as described by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd) to the Obama campaign."

It was a Dowd column that told us of a Sony-produced movie about the raid being put together by the same pair that brought us the Oscar-winning "The Hurt Locker" — screenwriter Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow.

Disclosing the name of a Navy SEAL Team 6 commander to them under any circumstances and offering his services as a consultant is unconscionable.

Someone tell IBD that it was Richard Armitage who revealed VAlerie Plame’s idenity, not Scooter.
Scooter’s crime was being stupid enough to get caught up in in Fitzgerald’s folly.

Obama, and those who report to Obama, should be held fully accountable if this warrior, or his family, is harmed.

IMO that seal team member should be given Secret Service Protection.

After all it was the President who outed him.

IIRC, they announced at the time that they were getting 'secret' and 'unprecedented' access.

Doesn't matter much. Now that the Seal Team members who were on scene are all dead, no one is left to contradict the official story.

Of course it was Richard Armitage, but Scooter Libby was accused and punished for it. Hence the title

Four of Clinton’s bodyguards were killed in the “botched” raid at Waco.

Who wins the body count in good ol’ Arkancide vs. Chicago thuggery?

I feel like I am near the Colosseum listening to the screams of the Christians being eaten and not being able to do anything.
