CIA DIRECTOR BRENNAN CONFIRMED AS REPORTER MICHAEL HASTINGS NEXT TARGET

This week Elise Jordan, wife of famed journalist Michael Hastings, who recently died under suspicious circumstances, corroborated this reporter's sources that CIA Director, John Brennan was Hastings next exposé project (CNN clip).

Last month a source provided San Diego 6 News with an alarming email hacked from super secret CIA contractor Stratfor’s President Fred Burton. The email (link here) http://www.wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/1210665_obama-leak-investigations-internal-use-only-pls-do-not.html was posted on WikiLeaks and alleged that then Obama counter-terrorism Czar Brennan, was in charge of the government's continued crackdown or witch-hunt on investigative journalists.

After providing the Stratfor email to the CIA for comment, the spymaster's spokesperson responded in lightning speed. Two emails were received; one acknowledging Hastings was working on a CIA story and the other said, “Without commenting on information disseminated by WikiLeaks, any suggestion that Director Brennan has ever attempted to infringe on constitutionally-protected press freedoms is offensive and baseless.”

The emails also prompted a phone from CIA media spokesman Todd Ebitz. He said they were saddened by Michael’s death and reiterated their position that they had a cordial working relationship with the investigative reporter.

3. I don't think this story should be dismissed so quickly as CT.

Be that as it may, this is from the article...

As for Hastings’ final story, his wife said Rolling Stone would publish the Brennan piece in an upcoming edition of the magazine.

6. Elise Jordan, Hastings widow, has an interesting resume.

See wiki.

Also Hastings first love was killed in Iraq and was a notable person.

Hastings death was an accident or some really tangled intelligence-journalism nexus.

Our alphabet soup of intelligence agencies do not inspire trust nor appear fiduciary to the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

8. Is Stratfor actually a CIA contractor? I heard they were an over-priced private

intel service for folk too lazy to read the newspapers. I think they sometimes billed themselves as a commercial sort-of-CIA-thingy
