So say two officials, a US intelligence official, and a Mideast diplomat.
And that's all you're having. From Yahoo.
And the funny thing is, this is really funny and a reassurance to behold, the comments over there on Yahoo are more interesting than the brief info leak is, as so often the case, and the 100 or so comments that I read of 450 I saw there are flat not having one singe word of it. They got your transparency.

This is what happens when Susan Rice is NSA
"one singe word of it" A hunka hunka burnin' love?
Maybe the message behind the message from AQ is --
Leak like you are going to attack.
Watch their reaction but don't attack.
Repeat.
The net effect of which would render the apparent advantage of intelligence via surveillance ineffective as it would appear to be vulnerable to false positives.
Cold war strategery.
Off Insta - Several headlines, but the one that leads,
Why is this happening now? - apparently we've known about this for months.
And, no, the NSA had nothing to do with bringing any of this to light.
I don't know why we're supposed to think the government of Obama gives a shit about US embassies and consulates NOW. We've been told for almost a year that having US Ambassadors get ass-raped to death by dozens of al Qaeda types is no big deal, just run-of-the-mill tomfoolery. I'm almost curious enough to follow links to see "Why now?", except that I'm sure the answer will be more depressing than anything I can think up on my own, so I'll pass this time, thank-you-very-much.
I have to be honest and say I don't believe a single word of it. Not one. This is too scripted to be anything of any sort. They didn't realize the chatter, they didn't realize the context, we don't know what the specific threat is, but yet guys like Sax Chamblis and Senator Squishy go out on the Sunday shows to manipulate the public that the NSA domestic spying programs are right and good and that this is what brought this 'chatter' to the front for these. It's a sales job and it's a horrible one at that. These guys are the authors and signatories to these programs and they are out there trying to sell it and using the cover of 'credible' terror threats to do it and having embassies close and yet, they haven't released a single instance of what those threats are, but instead go on a public speaking tour to let us know that they are doing their jobs.
AQ is withering on the vine. Since we gave up waterboarding they have been having trouble gaining new recruits. If we cease our drone program, that will be the last of them. AQ only exists because of American transgressions. Thank God, we now have a President who understands this geopolitical truth.
Your current CIA director in his 1980 graduate thesis:
Brennan denied the existence of “absolute human rights” and argued in favor of censorship on the part of the Egyptian dictatorship.
“Since the press can play such an influential role in determining the perceptions of the masses, I am in favor of some degree of government censorship,” Brennan wrote. “Inflamatory [sic] articles can provoke mass opposition and possible violence, especially in developing political systems.”
William, now if we could only foster some direct dialogue over a hookah pipe, then we could grant AQ favored status, start sending them aid money, and get them in the UN, just like the PLO.

Joe, isn't that what we're trying to do by supporting AQ in an effort to "get" Assad? If we're lucky it will work out as well as the efforts in Egypt have....
