One More Time... NY Times Leaks Information on Secret Strikes Against Al-Qaeda
The New York Times' gives the Bush Administration the finger one last time...
The NY Times published another report on secret military operations today.
Of course, this information was fed to the paper by anonymous sources like all of the other secret operations they reported these last 8 years.
FOX News reported:
The U.S. military has conducted nearly a dozen secret operations against Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups in Syria, Pakistan and other countries since 2004, The New York Times reported Sunday night.
Citing anonymous U.S. officials, the Times story said the operations were authorized by a broad classified order that then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld signed and President George W. Bush approved in spring 2004. The order gave the military authority to attack Al Qaeda anywhere in the world and to conduct operations in countries that were not at war with the U.S.
One such operation was an Oct. 26 raid inside Syria, the Times reported. Washington has not formally acknowledged the raid, but U.S. officials have said the target was a top Al Qaeda in Iraq figure. Syria has asked for proof and said eight civilians were killed in the attack.
In another mission, in 2006, Navy SEALs raided a suspected terrorist compound in Pakistan's tribal areas.
The raids have typically been conducted by U.S. Special Forces, often in conjunction with the Central Intelligence Agency, the newspaper said. Even though the process has been streamlined, specific missions have to be approved by the defense secretary or, in the cases of Syria and Pakistan, by the president.
It will be interesting to see if these leaks continue during the Obama administration. They certainly damaged Bush.

Ri8chard Armitage.
Plame was NEVER an agent. She was an analyst.
The lie oft repeated, ehh Comrade?

Give it up. She wasn't a covert CIA operative when her name was leaked. Get the facts. On the other hand, the NYT DID leak the name of a Gitmo interrogator earlier this year (and gave his place of employment). This is in addition to numerous other leaks they are responsible for. Someone should have been prosecuted.
The NYT is no better than a Socialist pamphlet handed out on a street corner by a Marxist agitator. It isn't fit for a bird cage.
