A small private intelligence company that monitors Islamic terrorist groups obtained a new Osama bin Laden video ahead of its official release last month, and around 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, it notified the Bush administration of its secret acquisition. It gave two senior officials access on the condition that the officials not reveal they had it until the al-Qaeda release.
Within 20 minutes, a range of intelligence agencies had begun downloading it from the company's Web site.
By midafternoon that day, the video and a transcript of its audio track had been leaked from within the Bush administration to cable television news and broadcast worldwide. The founder of the company, the SITE Intelligence Group, says this premature disclosure tipped al-Qaeda to a security breach and destroyed a years-long surveillance operation that the company has used to intercept and pass along secret messages, videos and advance warnings of suicide bombings from the terrorist group's communications network.
This is completely unacceptable. We're at war with an organization that has murdered 3,000 people and getting intelligence on them is difficult to come by. Who the FUCK leaked this?
This is borderline treason. I want this person in jail serving a LONG sentence.
"Techniques that took years to develop are now ineffective and worthless," said Rita Katz, the firm's 44-year-old founder, who has garnered wide attention by publicizing statements and videos from extremist chat rooms and Web sites, while attracting controversy over the secrecy of SITE's methodology.
I don't give two shits what their methodologies are. I want Osama found and killed along with everyone involved with or a member of Al-Qaeda.
I want this story on the front page of every newspaper in the country to publicly let the Bush administration know that this is not acceptable and those responsible for it are found and sent to jail.
As for the media that published it? Well now that it's out in the open, the cockroaches have scattered. They should know better then to publish something like this, but Al-Qaeda already knows they've been penetrated, so it makes almost no difference.
I'm extremely angry at the level of incompetence here. They are supposed to be smarter then this. They are supposed to be long term thinkers when it comes to things like this. Failure to do so in such a spectacular way means you should lose your job, and your freedom.
