This Former SEAL Attacking Obama's 'Leaks' Has A Very Big Secret Of His Own

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.

Disclosing the identification of a covert agent is a felony offense, and Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the chief of staff for Dick Cheney, went to prison for obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements related to the comment, but he later had his sentence commuted by the Bush administration.
