Britain has stopped sharing information about the police investigation into the Manchester suicide bombing following leaks by U.S. intelligence sources to the media, the BBC reported.

Wednesday night, the New York Times published photos apparently taken by investigators at the crime scene showing fragments of a backpack, pieces of shrapnel and an item that may have been a detonator. The report also revealed information about where some of the victims died and where a torso, believed to be that of the bomber Salman Abedi, was found. An earlier leak Tuesday had revealed Abedi’s name to reporters before it had been disclosed by U.K. police.

No, not the Russian hookers who pissed on each other for his entertainment in a Moscow hotel room.



Add the leaks about meetings with Russians in the Oval office, Comey, intelligence chiefs, etc. etc. etc.

Getting really out of hand.

They're clearly coming from some people he hired.

That's certainly possible, but I'm not sure how you can say that it's "clear".

Or him directly, comrade.

How does the text between Trump, the Russian diplomat and Foreign Secretary leak? That one is the most confusing one. Who is the rat?

Does a text of the meeting get sent to intelligence agencies for analysis?

I don't know. I also don't know how "former U.S. officials" who are being cited as sources are getting the information.

Like that page of his tax return?

Right?

They get legacy access for everything or something?!?!?

Our intelligence agencies spied on and collected data from the phones of our allies.

The only thing clear is that these agencies need to be reigned in. And the sooner the better.

CIA Director Mike Pompeo made a blunt declaration Tuesday: "We are back in the business of stealing secrets.”

The remark from Pompeo, made to a small group of reporters on Tuesday, was a tacit jab at his predecessor. Former agency director John Brennan turned heads in March of last year when he told National Public Radio that the U.S. doesn’t “steal secrets.”

I don't like our chances.

But what if they're just trying to protect us from the politicians we foolishly elected?

Therein lies perhaps the biggest problem with this whole mess ... maybe in this small sample size one can argue rooting for one 'team' over another, but what are the long-term ramifications of which sides 'wins'?

How would that be helpful in the current situation?

The removal of Trump by any means necessary.

Seriously, we need more Edward Snowdens because the NSA is completely out of hand.

We can't celebrate exposing government secrets and embarrassing the government but get pissed about embarrassing a politician. In my world the government trumps a politician.

Any transparency is good.

What if it's a dress being worn by Julie DiCaro?
