FBI Loses Classified Files in Wartime
“Loose lips sink ships.” A simple little maxim that underscores the importance of keeping secrets in the midst of war.
One would think that the federal agency charged with chasing down intelligence leaks would be able to keep up with its own information. But the FBI has lost nearly a quarter of the files pertaining to investigations into leaks of classified information.
In response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the FBI said it identified 94 leak investigations since 2001, but that the investigative files in 22 of those cases “are missing” and cannot be located.
Who the hell needs Sandy Berger stuffing docs into his socks when our most elite intelligence agencies can’t keep up with a simple case file?
And is this a case of ineptitude, or is the FBI as anti-administration as the CIA and is really just trying to cover up the findings of wartime intelligence leaks in order to protect powerful Democrats and treasonous journalists?
