Republican Darrell Issa Undermines U.S.Investigation In Libya

[Truthseeker420]

Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) criticized House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R- Calif.) for releasing 166 pages of "sensitive but unclassified" State Department cables that contained the names of Libyans working within the United States.

"This is irresponsible and inexcusable, and perhaps worst of all it was entirely avoidable," Kerry said. "It is profoundly against America's interests in a difficult region."

The Obama administration has also criticized Issa for leaking the documents, which relate to the September attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and four others.

Administration officials told Foreign Policy magazine the leak, along with Issa's failure to redact the names of Libyan civilians and local leaders mentioned in the cables, could have "unintended consequences."

"This does damage to the individuals because they are named, danger to security cooperation because these are militias and groups that we work with and that is now well known, and danger to the investigation, because these people could help us down the road," an administration official said.

John Kerry: Darrell Issa's Release Of Raw Libya Cables 'Irresponsible And Inexcusable'

This borders on treason and makes it a lot harder to find the killers who attacked our embassy.

Are there any secrets left in Libya after terrorists killed the Ambassador? You think Alqueda doesn't already know the names of Libyans working in the US? If the Hussein administration leveled with the American public instead of blaming the 1st Amendment and some obscure You Tube video for the terrorist act they wouldn't be in the mess they are in.

There have been many attacks on diplomats in and around Libya for many months now. I do not believe that our government and other countries didn't already know what was going on long before the Libyan attack. It makes no sense that no one would have investigated considering the ongoing threats and attacks. Now some are acting like the attack on our Libyan embassy was the first incident and no one knows for sure who did it or why. Sorry, not buying it.

Is there even an investigation to undermine? The Obama administration didn't even send people over there to look into things until after the media went and found Chris Steven's diary. They read about the threats and the requests for help.

There is no way the government didn't see this coming. Drones were flying over and witnessed the attacks- all 8 hours on 9/11. We didn't do anything before or during the attacks. Afterwards, we got lies for weeks.

It's assinine to pretend now that a serious investigation is underway. When they claim Issa is interferring with that, what they mean is that he is exposing indifference on the part of the Obama administration when it comes to radical Muslim terrorists. I don't doubt they object to the facts being made public.

Outrageous!...Doesn't Issa know that leaking sensitive and classified materials is the job of flacks at the Oboingo White House?

 

[ScienceRocks]

Obama needs to fucking go as he's a thug. Everything for a month has said it was a fucking terrorist attack.

We must drop the chavez jr.

 

[WillowTree]

 

[ScienceRocks]

So why did Obama say it was a terrorist attack in the rose garden? Why did the government of Libya.

This fucking government can't keep its story straight. I don't trust it.

It's okay to murder four Americans but we gotta save the Libyans,, Way to go demoncraps.

Don't be hypocrites. YOu are setting a standard to which you must hold your political opponents equally.

What Issa did was wrong. Plain and simple.

And where do you glean this?

What Issa did was to out people cooperating with US authorities. They now are most certainly are a target for Al Qaeda.

By the way I had the exact same problem with Bradley Manning when he did his little document dump. For the exact same reasons.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Can someone tell me why Obama said it was a terrorist attack in the rose garden on Sept 13th? Why did Clinton the Sept 25th???

Why did the Prime Minister of Libya????

I don't trust this government.

 

[ScienceRocks]

They had a drone and a camera watching in real time. How fucking hard is it??? Don't any of you democrats question the honesty of your president?

 

[OKTexas]

You might want to listen to this video and see what the concern was for classified information, State is the one that should have redacted sensative informaton, they assured what they provided was for public consumption. So you want to point fingers like your dear leader, point it at Clinton, she is in charge of State.
