Analyst's note: Absolutely must read. We could say unbelievable, but this is the Obama administration .... totally out of control. Freedom of the Press ... not so much.
Could we expect anything less from a man who used the IRS to target groups that criticized HIS government or used Benghazi to run weapons to the Muslim Brotherhood or otherwise get American killed (see Former Commander of Pacific Fleet Warns Obama is Getting American Soldiers Killed).
Mr. Obama is also letting Foreigners from Islamic Countries Disappear from U.S. military Bases -- 'They Are Sleeper Cells'. Here is Stunning insight into the on-going U.S. national-security fraud regarding Islam .... This administration is willing to do or say anything to destroy this nation from within.
It is time we identify the enemy both foreign and domestic. Remember we have Barack Obama And John Brennan who are Muslim Brotherhood Operatives -- and we continue to pay for putting them in office. Also remember the Perfidy and Betrayal: Madison Vs Obama and Let's call Islam Islam.
We have shown again and again Benghazi Hearings simply show 'The Tip of the Iceberg'.
The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed incoming and outgoing calls, and the duration of each call, for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP.
In all, the government seized those records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown but more than 100 journalists work in the offices whose phone records were targeted on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.
[....] These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP's newsgathering operations, and disclose information about AP's activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know," Pruitt said.
[....] The May 7, 2012, AP story that disclosed details of the CIA operation in Yemen to stop an airliner bomb plot occurred around the one-year anniversary of the May 2, 2011, killing of Usama bin Laden.
The plot was significant because the White House had told the public it had "no credible information that terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida, are plotting attacks in the U.S. to coincide with the (May 2) anniversary of bin Laden's death."
The AP delayed reporting the story at the request of government officials who said it would jeopardize national security. Once government officials said those concerns were allayed, the AP disclosed the plot because officials said it no longer endangered national security. The Obama administration, however, continued to request that the story be held until the administration could make an official announcement.
[....] The May 7 story was written by reporters Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman with contributions from reporters Kimberly Dozier, Eileen Sullivan and Alan Fram. They and their editor, Ted Bridis, were among the journalists whose April-May 2012 phone records were seized by the government. [....]
