Remember this is not any ordinary leak. This is, as she (Senator Diane Feinstein) says, putting American foreign policy and American lives in jeopardy.
The New York Times’ review of Mr. (David) Sanger’s book by Thomas Ricks who is a one of the Pulitzer Prize winners of the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post defense experts. In his review in the New York Times he says, “And throughout Mr. Sanger has clearly enjoyed great access to senior White House officials most notably Tom Donilon.
Mr. Donilon is in effect the hero of the book in fact the chief commentator and records of events.” It’s all about this stuff. When Gates, when we had the disclosure of SEAL Team 6, Robert Gates went to the White House and told Tom Donilon, “I have a new communication strategy, you know what it is?Keep your effing mouth shut.” Tom Donilon is known for this. He is a political operative.
