ISIS Reportedly Outing Middle Eastern Intelligence Agents -- FOX News

The terrorist group ISIS is actively outing agents from Middle Eastern intelligence services -- as many as 30 in the last two months -- by posting their pictures and locations on social media, a counterterrorism source told Fox News.

In some cases, the source, who asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the investigations, said the Islamic State appeared to be getting the agents' identities from Saudi sympathizers.

"I wouldn't be surprised if they had an effective counterintelligence operation going on as well,"said Bill Roggio, who has investigated ISIS for the Long War Journal. He added that recent images of the White House and Chicago, posted on social media by ISIS, were designed to show the group had global reach and was the successor to Usama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda.

"Aye, ya's go and invade another country that had nothing to do with the attack in the first place. Wonder who will it be this time, Sweden perhaps? :P"

The list of countries run deep.

Iran, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE.
Whether we should invade is another matter. Maybe we should just publish the names of the financiers repeatedly, put travel bans on them and cause their countries discomfort.

If a rich Saudi was to donate large sums against the wishes of the Saudi government eve while the government provides intel to the same group or other groups that person could end up on a helicopter day trip to the empty quarter.

Maybe we should engage in a shadow war. We are being engaged.

America should treat intel assets better than we treat released GITMO detainees.

What an odd photo above. Yes I know what it's all about, but what is the guy in the yellow shirt way down the line doing? It could be one of those vagaries of the moment, after all what is the proper way to physically react when you are about to be or are being shot?

I thought about it also.

Insha'Allah might cover it.

They say running only means you die tired. Why should you die scared?

Why not look at the APE in the eyes? Maybe it will trouble him, maybe not. Maybe he considers his actions, maybe not.
