This Former SEAL Attacking Obama's 'Leaks' Has A Very Big Secret Of His Own
Geoffrey Ingersoll | Aug. 17, 2012, 9:32 PM | 17,337 | 82
In an article published recently, I argued that an organization named Operational OpSec Education Fund's recently released Obama attack was insulting and disingenuous, but I really had no idea how right I actually was.
Ken Dilanian of the LA Times gives further depth, reporting that Fred Rustmann, an OpSec member, CIA retiree and an outspoken Republican, appeared on the Hannity and Colmes show in 2005 in order to downplay the outing of a CIA covert operations officer Valerie Plame.

Dilanian also outs popular, aspiring Republican politician and SEAL frontman Scott Taylor for appearing on a show named, get this, "The Secrets of SEAL Team Six." Taylor appeared on the show despite his colleagues and the Navy urging him to decline.

Do Republics even know what it is? (Looks like they're all ignorant about that illness.)

(295,899 posts)7. My thought is..they know exactly what it
is. They're all purposefully using it en masse. Romney and mini mitt, rove et al do it collectively.
The brainwashed teabaggers believe them and they're hoping to snare some Indies. The comment sections all over are riddled with braindead talking points accusing PBO and Dems of what gops are doing.

Of course, we kind of already knew that given the fact that he's inserted himself into the public eye now.

(36,814 posts)8. He's just another GOP shitbag trying to make his political bones
After firmly stepping on his dick, those dreams are now long gone.

will they be prosecuted? I would hope so.
