really offsets
this story your call several weeks ago I think it was now
there were 19
and he was over the summer there were 19 embassy shutdown
across the the world
because I love intelligence that this country had received
the United States it intercepted messages between
I'm on also a Hari who has succeeded
Osama bin Laden is the head about Qaeda and not so I'll wash ir
the head of the Yemeni based out
al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula Peninsula
AQ I am AP is over they call it
ok al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
and they were discussing an imminent to terrorist attack so we had 19 embassies
that shut down
I around the world now
according to The New York Times do US government
officials and a form that they have interviewed
I believe is Nana sources have said
that the impact up the leaks as to
how that information was gained
that came both remember the New York Times
reported that they had heard from a US official
and then mcclatchy heard from Yemeni officials
that the way that this information was garnered was from intercepting those
communications
that the leaks involved surrounding
the interception of those communications were far more damaging
then the disclosures is calling from
a senior American officials then disclosures
a by Edward snowed in now those a.m. officials
say that's no disclosures have had a broader impact on national security in
general
including counterterrorism efforts but of course
included in that is the ability for the NSA
to spy perhaps in contravention
above the Constitution nyse: States and perhaps
even contradicting US law
or at the very least a disclosing to the american public
that the fis a court has expanded the laws that allow them to serve they'll
to the point where you have multiple US senator saying this is a problem
so
we have Edward snowed in who have course
if he was brought back to the United States
could be subjected to god knows what
if Bradley Manning's experience
or on the civilian side I
all the NSA leakers that we have interviewed on this programmer been seen
in other places guys like
eyesore a Thomas Drake if there are any measure
we know what would happen deadwood snowed in yet those US officials
who leak something that according to other US officials severely damaged our
capacity
to %uh preempt the future attack
I'm not being prosecuted and of course is the Yemeni officials
rule what you gonna do to stunning
anytime you hear some
generic Steve yeah undermining something or other
it's never specified undermines the
with the ball dynamics of the counterterror powered I and it doesn't
mean anything
the it broadly inhibits our ability to keep secrets
and do what we want to do and that's a Nazi as one part is you directly saying
you cover is on the up and also just doesn't mean
anything rather just like yeah how you know there's there's the dynamics of the
issue
the security its its it's nonsense text
