for leaking details. Forgetting that leaks didn't begin until congress was briefed. I did think it was a bad idea for Panetta to do interviews. I didn't see Gates give any.

But what the fuck? Who would mess with a Seal. And nobody even knows who these people are in the first place.

1. The GOP blew the cover of a CIA operative named Valerie Plame
.... Think they wouldn't stoop so far as to endanger troops if it gains them some kind of sick political advantage or to weaken the President?

3. But I still don't understand why he would be concerned about people we don't know?
He even said the Seals were worried. Why? What can happen to them?

4. Uhh...


In order to do that, though, the terrorists would have to find the SEALs' living quarters, which have always been very well hidden.
