Yahoo News: The CIA's communications suffered a catastrophic compromise. It started in Iran.
In 2013, hundreds of CIA officers — many working nonstop for weeks — scrambled to contain a disaster of global proportions: a compromise of the agency’s internet-based covert communications system used to interact with its informants in dark corners around the world. Teams of CIA experts worked feverishly to take down and reconfigure the websites secretly used for these communications; others managed operations to quickly spirit assets to safety and oversaw other forms of triage.
“When this was going on, it was all that mattered,” said one former intelligence community official. The situation was “catastrophic,” said another former senior intelligence official.

I read this article and remember a bit of this fiasco being in the press.
Reading the Yahoo article yesterday was quite a wake up call. Again.
Never underestimate one's adversaries.
Bungles was the Commander in Chief.
Bungles was holding the bag.
Bungles was the executive.
Bungles appointed Leon Panetta another bungler.
Bungles was too busy
- running guns into Mexico,
- killing the Tea Party using the IRS,
- expanding government into healthcare, gutting the military,
- kow-towing to everyone in the world
that he simply had no time to pay attention to the CIA or attend enough briefings.
But you cannot say that because that would be wascist!
It is not the skin color that is the problem. It is Bungles socialist upbringing and beliefs. Bungles had no game and still doesn't.
ok misfit: want to play the blame game since you do not know how govt works...think Trumpster dumped those guys in intel? and if not, why not?...pay your taxes now, silly one...help pay for this

Obama Stays on Trump, GOP: Why 'So Angry All the Time'? or snippy or dwelling in the past endlessly?
DOES ANYONE SEE AN INTERESTING PATTERN HERE?
Lapides\Philocrates,
Why do you whine so much?
Once again a holy, Leon Panetta, was criticized.
Also a holy of holies, Obama, was criticized.
That elicited a string of angry responses by the cut & paste jockey. He is so put out the has not found anything to ogle.
What is so funny is that a leader usually knows all the initiatives, hardware, software, and people under their management.
Makes me wonder if Panetta just had a "show up" job.

Lapides,
Why do you whine so much?
"Obama’s hypocrisy on intelligence briefings"
If Obama is being a hypocrite, it means he is lying and and continuing to lie.
It is relevant. He is on the campaign trail for other Dims, so his track record is not ancient history. It is germane since he is endorsing people.
Still Phred of the PHoul tongue will complain.
