While Investigating Obama Over Libya, Darrell Issa Puts Libyans’ Lives at Risk

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) has placed several Libyans lives at risk in the course of investigating the alleged security issues regarding the deaths of four Americans in Libya on September 11, 2012.

Issa uploaded scores of sensitive material and didn’t redact names of Libyan civilians or local leaders, exposing them to physical danger from the very people the Obama administration is investigating regarding the September 11, 2012 attacks.

Speaking to The Cable, an administration official said, “Much like WikiLeaks, when you dump a bunch of documents into the ether, there are a lot of unintended consequences. This does damage to the individuals because they are named, danger to security cooperation because these are militias and groups that we work with and that is now well known, and danger to the investigation, because these people could help us down the road.”

This comes after Issa already outed a CIA base in Libya during the course of this (one of many) partisan witch hunt, allegedly based on concerns over security. As Richard Clarke explained, however, anyone who thinks that initial information is correct knows nothing about terrorism or combat.

Issa is doing the exact same thing his party did when we first discussed going into Libya and they were warned by their own party policy makers to stop giving aid to our enemies just because they wanted to cause problems for President Obama.

1. He is so concerned about "getting" the president that he put these people's lives in...

... danger. He needs to resign now.

2. I wish

I wish there was a way the President could criticize Issa and his partner in the next Debate. I think they are undermining U.S. Foreign Policy. There ought to be a way to censure him. The only purpose they are doing this is to help Romney politically. I don't think there is an out cry from the public either. It seems to be the Republican Party with the help of some pundits trying to drum up an issue. There really is no issue when facts are still being gathered. Information changes as you gather evidence or facts. That is the nature of any professional investigation.
