The government has released much more information than they should have concerning materials seized during the raid on Bin Laden.
Particularly troubling is the release of information contained in Bin Laden’s diary, which describes new specific terror plans to disrupt the U.S. and the West.
Anyone in counterintelligence will tell you that you don’t tip off the enemy that you know about their plans. You allow it to continue, while turning some of the operatives involved, so that the entire operation can be taken down in one stroke, instead of having them disappear into the shadows, only to have them reappear months later with plans we don’t know about.
Our government should keep al-Qaeda guessing as to what we actually do know, while chasing down every lead.
The government needs to control the information much more than they have.
