Former CIA, special-ops officers accuse Obama of intelligence leaks

By Jonathan Easley - 08/16/12 09:54 AM ET

A conservative group has released a video of former CIA and special-operations officers slamming President Obama for what they say are politically motivated intelligence leaks.

The 22-minute video was produced by the Special Operations Opsec Education Fund, which claims to be nonpartisan, although The New York Times reported on Wednesday that some involved in the video — including a former Navy SEAL — have ties to Republican and Tea Party groups.

The video begins with news clips outlining a series of leaks that have provoked criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike.

It then accuses the Obama administration of politically capitalizing on national-security operations and secrets.
