Leon Panetta gave Hollywood exec top secret info on Bin Laden raid's SEAL unit, leader

[midnight]

Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta disclosed top secret information about the Navy SEALS unit that conducted the mission on which Osama Bin Laden was found and killed, according to an unpublished Inspector-General report obtained by the Project on Government Oversight.

Panetta's disclosures came during a celebratory gathering to honor the SEALS and their commander at the CIA headquarters in Langley, VA. Among the attendees at the event was an unnamed "Hollywood executive" connected to the production of the movie about the raid, "Zero Dark Thirty," according to POGO.

"During this awards ceremony, Director Panetta specifically recognized the unit that conducted the raid and identified the ground commander by name," POGO quoted the draft report as saying. "According to the DoD Office of Security Review, the individual's name is protected from public release" under federal law, the report says.

3. Interesting thought you share.... I wonder if naming names of such a dangerous mission is a

breach of safety of the federal laws?

Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism is a 2004 documentary film by progressive filmmaker Robert Greenwald that is highly critical of Fox News . Outfoxed examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know. Here are some quotes from former Fox employees: "We were stunned because up until that point we were allowed to do legitimate news, suddenly we were ordered from the top to carry propaganda" - Frank O Donnell, Former Fox News Producer "I've heard directly from folks, both as correspondence and as bookers who've expressed very grave reservations, almost as if they are being monitored by a Stalinist system" - Larry Johnson, Former Fox News Contributor.

5. Maybe Panetta can join Bradley Manning as a co-defendent.
