Former Brigadier General: Obama's Briefer Told CENTCOM Official to Skew Intel on ISIS

Asked if there had been people who were denied promotions, Tata indicated that it was worse than that: "I think they've been run out of the service," he answered.

As PJ Media reported in April, two senior intelligence analysts at U.S. Central Command were allegedly forced out of their jobs because of their skeptical reporting on U.S.-backed rebel groups in Syria.


Tata cited for example "one young lady who spent $140,000 on legal bills" to defend herself against "this kind of thing."

"She ultimately won," Tata noted, but her career has been ruined.

As for the White House connection, the general said, "It could have been the president saying, 'Don't tell me this.' Or it could have been the briefer going back after a rough meeting saying, 'Hey look, don't give me anymore of this stuff. I don't want to bring it to the president.'"
