UK- Guardian News and Media Limited: Underwear bomb plot: British and US intelligence rattled over leaks.
"Leak about UK involvement described as despicable by CIA as anger turns to Obama administration for compromising mission"
"Detailed leaks of operational information about the foiled underwear bomb plot are causing growing anger in the US intelligence community, with former agents blaming the Obama administration for undermining national security and compromising the British services, MI6 and MI5.
....This does seem to be a tawdry political thing."
....
"Robert Grenier, former head of the CIA counter-terrorism centre, said: "As for British Intelligence, I suppose, but do not know, that they must be very unhappy. They are often exasperated, quite reasonably, with their American friends, who are far more leak-prone than they.

"In their place, I would think two and three times before sharing with the Americans, and then only do it if I had to. The problem with that dynamic is that you don't know what you don't know, and what opportunities you might be missing when you decide not to share. The Americans are doing a very good job of undermining trust, and the problem starts at the top." (Emphasis added. TD)
Obama administration’s recent leaks about Israel’s possible military plans to to prevent a nuclear Iran have undermined Obama’s assurances. This is not cooperation--it is sabotage "Now, with the Obama administration regularly interfering with and revealing Israeli military plans, it is impossible for Democrats and their media allies to make the ever-more-ridiculous claim that he is the best friend Israel has had in the White House.
"Worse, the Obama administration is helping Iran unravel the U.S.-Israel alliance, exposing Israel to attack and allowing Iran to threaten America's interests and stature."
What kind of idiot can still believe Barack Obama belongs in the White House as president?
