WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former CIA and Special Operations members are announcing the creation of OPSEC, a new nationwide public campaign to combat the spike in leaks and politicization of Intelligence and Special Operations missions that threaten their effectiveness and the safety of Americans who conduct them. OPSEC – short for Operational Security, meaning to eliminate or reduce the exploitation of critical information -- will begin with the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures," a new documentary short film highlighting the problem from the perspective of those who have served in these critical positions. The film will also serve as the basis for a TV and online advertising effort.

"Intelligence and Special Operations members are angry and frustrated at how our work has been used for political advantage by officials across government, including President Obama himself who bears special responsibility as Commander in Chief," said Scott Taylor, chairman of OPSEC and a former Navy SEAL. "We want the American people to understand the cost of these leaks and politicization both on those who serve and on our national security and to hold those in positions of leadership accountable if it doesn't stop."

OPSEC is made up of individuals who served their country in the CIA, and Special Operations Forces (SOF) consisting of Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, Marine Corps and Air Force Special Operations. It is organized as a 501(c)(4) nonpartisan public education campaign and is independent of any political party or campaign organization.

The campaign will begin with the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures," a documentary short film that views the impact of the increasing number of leaks on Intelligence and Special Operations missions, tradecraft, tactics and capabilities from the perspective of those who have relied on these tools to carry out similar missions and protect themselves and those they served alongside. The film will be shown at events in key states across the country over the next several months, including Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina and Nevada. "Dishonorable Disclosures" can be seen at http://www.OpSecTeam.org.

"Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk," said Fred Rustmann, an OPSEC member and 24-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency. "OPSEC will carry a strong message across the country that it's time for President Obama and other administration officials to stop jeopardizing national security operations for political gain."

You down with OPSEC? Yeah, you know me.


WOOT for OPSEC.

STFU OBAMA!

So the Swift Boating has begun? Don't you think usamamasan1 that with a republican held House, if there were any shred of proof or honesty to these allegations, that they would convene the House Intelligence Committee, although thats a misnomer or oxymoron but I digress, hold hearings, take sworn testimony, perhaps appoint a special prosecutor and based upon the evidence, perhaps begin impeachment proceedings, if the allegations are as dire as you represent? Don't you think? Or are you just trying to inflame and malign?

Did it ever occur to you that it might be a republican leaning sort from inside the Pentagon or Congress that might be initiating the leaks in an effort to embarrass and undermine a president whose middle name just happens to be Hussein? Perhaps thats why the republican held house is afraid to initiate hearings as they're afraid where the evidence might point. I mean afterall, they had plenty of practice from when Turd Blossom, Shrub and Darth outed Valerie Plame to gin up their weapons of mass destruction hysteria and take us to war, resulting in the deaths of 4400 US servicemembers and 100s of thousands of Iraqi civilians and a bankrupt nation. Talk about impeachable offenses on so many levels. Where was your faux outrage then? I particularly like how the organization is set up as a 501 (c) 4 so they don't have to disclose their donors. Nice transparency there. But maybe having "C" and "4" in their organizing title reminds them of the smell of cordite and gives them hard ons?

And Romney won't "win" the election. He'll steal it and I'll call it here. 100 million from Adelson, Crossroads GPS, faux news, et. al. combined with voter suppression in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, excess voting booths and no lines in republican held districts and a shortage of same in democrat districs combined with missing ballots and a slew of absentee ballots from overseas and out of state will be enough to tip the balance in Romney's way. As a result, you'll get your wish for war with Iran and finally get to go and try out those "pods" you have so lovingly stocked. And at the end of fours years when things haven't changed, you'll blame Hillary Clinton.

Sleep tight America.

Peace.

I don't get all hot and bothered about this stuff because for all we know these "leaks" are fabrications made to sent others off on the wrong trail. I mean, really, what the hell do we really know? This is all so much like "Spy VS. Spy". Honestly, what do we really know about what's going on? And to me, getting all hot and bothered about it takes time away from the things I can do something about. Like working which is what I need to get back to.

Have fun with this one y'all.

p.s. my middle name is Mud. Call me Muddy

Maybe the House Intelligence Committee are too busy investigating Obama's involvement in 'drug use, murders & gay sex'?



Seriously, you do have to laugh at the desperation of the Obama haters. This is really turning into a quality comedy show.

Just before Carter's term, a black man portrayed the POTUS on screen for the first time....he used his full legal 'James Earl' name. Coincidence? :think:

I learn about SEAL tactics by playing video games on my Xbox where former Navy SEALs are paid by software developers to provide the most realistic experience possible.

The new Medal of Honor: Warfighter (EA) even has partnered with weapons manufacturers this year (if it's in the war, it's in the game) to provide a realistic experiance and has links on the EA Warfighter website where you can order sniper rifles endorsed by the game online and have them sent to your local dealer for pick-up.

I have a SOG tomahawk just like that in the back of my truck. I don't play video games though.

I wonder if the same people trashing Obama for the leaks are the ones that wrote this book

So it turns out the former SEAL who is releasing the tell-all book about the Bin Ladin raid is also a consultant for EA's Medal of Honer: Warfighter.

Go figure.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but sometimes I wonder if the US army has their hands/money/influence in these war video games with the super-real experience in order to glorify war to the point of hoping that these kids will grow up WANTING to be in the military so they can shoot the bad guy.

unfortunately, there's no reset in real life.

Hell yes they do. A few years back, the US Army actually released one.

I have friends who have had their super lazy kids who don't work and play video games all day join the Army after high school. That wake-up call is going to hit them like a 30' wave on the first day of basic training.
