My Comment: On one hand the U.S. wants to prosecute NSA leaker Edward Snowden or those who are leaking intel to reporters .... on the other hand they are leaking top secret operational details of an ally's attack on Syria ....in short .... they are running a policy of telling everyone to "do what I say and not what I do".
