The leak of this terror plot followed Obama's surprise trip to Afghanistan to announce a marginal update to his widely-known troop withdrawal timetable, which was conveniently during the celebration of the one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death. In that self-aggrandizing photo op, only time and taxpayer money were wasted, but in this self-aggrandizing intelligence leak, the results will have real-world security consequences.
Another expert chimes in that Obama's grandstanding will make the UK more hesitant to share intelligence information with the United States.
Detailed leaks of operational information about the foiled underwear bomb plot are causing growing anger in the US intelligence community, with former agents blaming the Obama administration for undermining national security and compromising the British services, MI6 and MI5.
"Obama" didn't leak anything.

Can't even lead his own administration.
Obama didn't do anything.A. Looks like Obama wasted a double agent.
Huh?B. Now the public knows that the Terrorists are aided by us.
What the fuck are you talking about?Proof that we don't just support Al Qaida in Libya and the war on terror is fake.
Now let's swing all that Military apparatus onto the American People (as it was designed to do)

Underwear bomb plot: British and US intelligence rattled over leaksLeak about UK involvement described as despicable by CIA as anger turns to Obama administration for compromising mission
Detailed leaks of operational information about the foiled underwear bomb plot are causing growing anger in the US intelligence community, with former agents blaming the Obama administration for undermining national security and compromising the British services, MI6 and MI5.
The Guardian has learned from Saudi sources that the agent was not a Saudi national as was widely reported, but a Yemeni. He was born in Saudi Arabia, in the port city of Jeddah, and then studied and worked in the UK, where he acquired a British passport.
Mike Scheur, the former head of the CIA's Bin Laden unit, said the leaking about the nuts and bolts of British involvement was despicable and would make a repeat of the operation difficult. "MI6 should be as angry as hell. This is something that the prime minister should raise with the president, if he has the balls. This is really tragic," Scheur said.
He added: "Any information disclosed is too much information. This does seem to be a tawdry political thing."
He noted that the leak came on the heels of a series of disclosures over the last 10 days, beginning with a report that the CIA wanted to expand its drone attacks in Yemen, Barack Obama making a surprise trip to Afghanistan around the time of the Bin Laden anniversary and "then this inexplicable leak".
Oh goodie, some more Breitbart wingnut conspiracies.
Senator Feinstein is not a wingnut conspiracy loon. And she wants charges to be laid.
