http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/10/19/issa_s_benghazi_document_dump_exposes_several_libyans_working_with_the_us .........SNIP........ House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) compromised the identities of several Libyans working with the U.S. government and placed their lives in danger when he released reams of State Department communications Friday, according to Obama administration officials.

Issa posted 166 pages of sensitive but unclassified State Department communications related to Libya on the committee's website afternoon as part of his effort to investigate security failures and expose contradictions in the administration's statements regarding the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi that resulted in the death of Amb. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

..........SNIP...................This idiot is a walking disaster!

8. Darrell Issa is destroying CIA Libya operations

Do you understand what this really means? Darrell Issa is exposing the whole CIA network. He should know that every intelligence agency in the world now knows that operation inside and out. They are going to connect the dots and know all of the American agents running those Libyans. Then those agencies will backtrack those American Agents and see where else they have been and run those networks up. Get Darrell Issa out of his position quick!

10. Who can stop this fool?

One question I have is how does he even have oversight responsibility over this rather than the House foreign affairs committee. This is the second time there have been reports that the committee is putting information out that can do harm.

Oh - welcome to DU

9. The republicans are so desperate they are boring the voters with this

people know repubs are trying to make political hay out of this. If Issa has revealed CIA officials he is in trouble. He may go the way of Libby.

12. Issa should be slapped with a

Gag Order. Fucker needs to be taught some respect for his country.

13. "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.”

Issa, as author of this article, Sarah Jones says..

So, Darrell Issa has leaked important information while investigating alleged leaks of security — again. He is doing more damage in this investigation than our enemies could have hoped for. This is hardly Issa’s first go at hacking up a partisan witch hunt of this administration.

"This isn’t just your typical Republican incompetence. The Republicans don’t care that they’ve endangered our work and civilians in Libya over their alleged concern over Americans killed in Libya."
