[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Emails show DOD analysts told to 'cut it out' on ISIS warnings; IG probe expands

Posted: 2/25/2016 10:13:57 PM EDT

Analysts at U.S. Central Command were pressured to ease off negative
assessments about the Islamic State threat and were even told in an
email to "cut it out,” Fox News has learned – as an investigation
expands into whether intelligence reports were altered to present a more
positive picture.

Fox News is told by a source close to the CENTCOM
analysts that the pressure on them included at least two emails saying
they needed to "cut it out” and "toe the line.”

Separately, a former Pentagon official told Fox News
there apparently was an attempt to destroy the communications. The
Pentagon official said the email warnings were "not well received" by
the analysts.

Those emails, among others, are now in the possession
of the Pentagon inspector general. The IG’s probe is expanding into
whether intelligence assessments were changed to give a more positive
picture of the anti-ISIS campaign.

The former Pentagon official said there were
"multiple assessments” from military intelligence and the CIA regarding
the "rapid rise” of ISIS in Iraq and North Africa in the year leading up
to the group’s territory grab in 2014.

Similar intelligence was included in the President’s
Daily Brief, or PDB – the intelligence community’s most authoritative
product -- during the same time period. Yet the official, who was part
of the White House discussions, said the administration kept "kicking
the can down the road." The official said there was no discussion of the
military involvement needed to make a difference.

This Is Huge: CENTCOM Destroyed Evidence

This is a really big deal. The latest government corruption is in our
Pentagon. Officials in CENTCOM have been deleting files and emails to
cover up their falsified accounts in the war on ISIS. They have been
attempting to make the US look far more effective than it has been.

Since last summer, the Pentagon’s inspector general has been
investigating allegations that the intelligence on ISIS had been
manipulated. Central Command, which oversees U.S. Department of Defense
operations in the Middle East, altered assessments of the campaign
against ISIS to make it appear as though the United States and Western
partners were making more progress than they really were, according to
claims from two whistleblowers assigned to CENTCOM and 50 other spies.

Napolitano on charges of destruction of CENTCOM intel: 'It is a big deal'

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano told viewers
Thursday on "Special Report with Bret Baier” that charges of personnel
at U.S Central Command (CENTCOM) allegedly destroying evidence to
minimize negative assessments of the administration’s fight against ISIS
is "a big deal and I'm sorry to say I think it's going to go nowhere in
the Obama administration.”

Unless there's a trail to a White House staffer directing them to delete those files, it won't go any further than Centcom.

The deleted files aside, the manipulation of intelligence should reflect on the administration....but it probably won't.

By the time the buck has passed through all the lower level meat shields, it's only about 1/10 cent, and the top people have an aide to deal with penny ante stuff.

It would look bad if it seemed like Obama is on the terrorists' side. Like say, pretending to fight ISIS, or freeing GITMO prisoners.

Doesn't even matter. I would suck Ron Jeremy's cock if anyone from Clinton, Lerner, Holder, or 0bama were ever indicted. They're above the law and will remain there until the pitchforks come out. Which is to say never.
