CIA Director Mike Pompeo said intel leaks are on the rise, fueled by 'worship' culture


"CIA Director Mike Pompeo opened up in a rare interview with MSNBC on Saturday claiming that he believes U.S. intelligence leaks are on the rise, fueled partially by the "worship" of leakers, such as Edward Snowden, according to The Associated Press. 

" 'In some ways, I do think it's accelerated," Pompeo said. "I think there is a phenomenon, the worship of Edward Snowden, and those who steal American secrets for the purpose of self-aggrandizement or money or for whatever their motivation may be, does seem to be on the increase.' " . . .

From the comments:

Val EdingI am a little confused by the message. Does the worship cult include Obama, Rice, & Comey... who also were leakers? While we do expect our enemies and competitors around the world to poke around and obtain information for their advantage I think it is an entirely different level of concern when it is "us"... and specifically our own leadership during the past eight years that has been involved in this and other illegal activity.
