Brennan: Intel Leaks Have 'Absolutely' Damaged US National Security -- The Hill

Unauthorized leaks of sensitive information regarding American-led counterterrorism operations have "absolutely" damaged U.S. national security, according to a top administration official.

My Comment: OK .... so John Brennan is upset about intelligence leaks ... and yes .... these leaks have damaged national security. But for all of these leaks to happen .... it could only from that small group who meets in the Situation Room when these matters are discussed. A particular small group that (by the way) owe their loyalty to only one man ... and that man is the present occupant in the Oval Office.

So good luck Mr. Brennan on stopping the leaks .... my gut is telling me that you will fail.
