Is it such a surprise? I mean she has no clue, just as Obama had no clue when he outed one of his Secret Service agents' kid, creating a potential security breach.

Maybe Leahy will open a Truth panel on this...wait...that's right, he's all to familiar with leaking information.

Keeping our troops and country safe...

Just one more example that these people now governing have the intellectual capacity of a thumbtack.
You can add this to the litany of destroyed covert ops, I guess. Didn't really need any co-operation from the Pakis anyhow.
I'd think that about now, this gang's running out of feet to shoot.

Now, when Pakistan becomes (more) uncooperative, Obamuhhh will have his pretense for invading Pakistan. Another brilliant strategem from the Dems!

Next, Obamuhhh will give the Iranians the plans and components for nuclear weapons, and if the Iranians use them to destroy Israel we'll have proof that the Iranians wanted nukes! Then, we can ask the U.N. to draft a strongly-worded letter....

Pakistan is walking a political tightrope by helping the U.S. fight terrorists while trying to appear as opposing the use of their soil for Predator attacks. Then along comes a clueless klutz named Dianne Feinstein to spoil the mission. I sure hope they haven't told her what goes on at Area 51.

As if the situation isn't tenuous enough she's got to go and pour gasoline all over what little help we do get from Pakistan. Pathetic.

God, I am so sick and tired of crap like this. When I was in the service, I took my oath to maintain secrets seriously. I still take it seriously.

Yet, time and again, these asshats on Capital Hill divulge sensitive info just to make it seem like they're "in the loop" inside the beltway... all the while making it harder for those of us out on the pointy end of the stick to do our jobs.

FRICKEN IDIOTS!!!!

ExSubNuke -

OpSec and ComSec just don't seem to be in the lexicon, does it? The whole idea of classified info is that it's not supposed to be leaked!

"Oh, I thought Top Secret only meant telling the New York Times! You mean I'm not supposed to tell ANYONE? What good is THAT?"

Friggin' idiots, indeed!

Feinstein is a brainless fool, whose only goal is to make her husband boatloads of money and bribe enough of the ignorant, illiterate or stupid to gain reelection. And she's the better of our two Senators.

When will the most ethical Congress in history investigate her directing business to her very rich husbands corp???

Dems are so incompetent. This country is screwed.

Why doesn't Patrick Fitzgerald prosecute this incompetent, brainless twit?

sam: "Why doesn't Patrick Fitzgerald prosecute this incompetent, brainless twit?"

Remember, our OTHER "Senator" out here is Babs Boxer!! No matter how dim Feinstein's bulb gets (and it gets dimmer every day), she STILL outshines Boxer.

Was this "oops" moment borderline treasonable? Sure. But remember, Feinstein carries the magic sign that innoculates her from blame: (D)

Head of "The Senate Intelligence Committe" ....who is pulling whose leg here?

D.C. needs an enima.....then we get 10 miles of rope and a forest full of trees.

You know, if we'd prosecute JUST ONE of these treasonous twits for their actions, this shit would stop! Especially if the the person prosecuted got the well deserved death penalty!

For the first time in my adult life, I am . . . embarrassed to live in a country where such brainless dolts are put into positions of power, and are repeatedly re-elected to those same positions.

Can't we hang some of these idiots for treason yet? mpw

Years ago I read the story about the hunt for the Night Stalker serial killer and still remember how angry investigators were when then Mayor of San Francisco Feinstein gave a press conference and revealed details not supposed to be released to the public, impeding the investigation.

Yup, I lived in the Bay Area and remember it well. The Chief of Police was none too happy about it.

Just remember, kids, "outing" Ms. Plame will always be far more of grievous act versus outing Predator drones. SOP for Ms. Feinstein's lefty friends.

I am appalled. I am not surprised. Having helped the 11th RS and 15th RS grow, and watching the 17th RS and now the "Reaper" attack squadrons make their marks, it is sad to see the contempt for security (that reflect their electorate's contempt of the military and civilian intelligence operations) of elected officials that not only endanger our political efforts, but our operators overseas.

For goodness sake, will someone politically "take out" these treasonous scum?

I'm surprised that any remote drones are operated from bases in Pakistan, Iraq or Afghanistan. I previously knew that these were operated remotely by satellite from large high tech American bases within the U.S. because of the complexity of the missions these remote weapons are on.

Paul,

I'm sorry but you are being purposefully naive. No serious person doubts that the US has been using drones based in Iraq and Afghanistan. There has been video of strikes by drones in both places broadcast on cable.

The relevant question is, if we are using armed drones based in Pakistan does it make any sense to reveal that ??

Remember those nasty little droids in the STAR WARS movies they were used to disrupt a star fighters system and even wreck their astromech droids? sounds something like those

paul "hooswoon" [over obama] - "I'm surprised that any remote drones are operated from bases in Pakistan, Iraq or Afghanistan. I previously knew that these were operated remotely by satellite from large high tech American bases within the U.S. because of the complexity of the missions these remote weapons are on."

And yet another military matter, (added to cluelessness over the EU Missile shield) you are absolutely uninformed about.

Jesus H. on a Segway, my 12 year old knows more than that just by paying attention to the news.

When originally deployed, the Predator GCS (ground control station) was co-located with the drone itself. With improved speed of transmission and other technological improvements, the pilot, sensor operator and intelligence folks now all operate from their home base in the States while the mechanics and ground support (including medics) go with the drones to wherever they are based. Civilian run Predators would undoubtedly have a separate site for ground control which could be co-located with the drones or could be even in Langley. Military Predator deployments have officially included Hungary, Bosnia, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq deployments. Civilian (CIA) Predator deployments have been kept classified, for the most part.

The democratic party need to figure out who they support, this new world of muslim extremists or the USA. this is a travesty of magnitudes indesrcibable. Diane is world socialist who now has the cuuernt power to make her footprint.What a shame for the USA;she is a disgrace
