Washington Post Undermines Intelligence

By Quin Hillyer on 7.16.10 @ 12:39PM

Less than an hour ago, I broke this story for the Washington Times. The Washington Post is soon to publish a list of companies that contract with our intelligence agencies. This is outrageous. The amount of damage this could do to our intelligence efforts could be huge. The memo I produce shows that the office of the Director of National Intelligence shows that our intelligence agencies themselves are very concerned about this. Of course, final judgment must wait until we see exactly what the Post produces, but this has the makings of a really, really bad breach of state secrets.
