THE DEUTCH SHIT HITS THE FAN!! Ex-CIA chief compromised secrets By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES Former CIA Director John Deutch compromised some of the most sensitive defense programs by improperly transferring data about ultrasecret Pentagon programs to computers he used to send e-mail and access the Internet, The Washington Times has learned. The compromises occurred sometime after 1994 and have raised fears among Pentagon security officials that foreign governments obtained access to the "crown jewels" of the Pentagon's secret weapons, intelligence and military programs, according to defense officials. Mr. Deutch is suspected of using the Internet to send the secret information on so-called special access programs (SAPs) over the commercial Internet service provider America Online as part of a 1,000-page personal journal he produced during his tenure as deputy defense secretary from 1994 to 1995 when he also was director of the Pentagon's Special Access Program Oversight Committee (SAPOC). As the head of SAPOC, Mr. Deutch sat at the pinnacle of the defense secrecy system involving hundreds of special access programs and ultrasensitive information ranging from exotic weapons development to secrets used during war-fighting operations. The officials provided new details of the compromised programs to highlight what they say is an effort to cover up the security breaches to avoid the political embarrassment for a high-ranking Clinton administration official during the presidential-election campaign. The Senate Intelligence Committee has completed a report on the CIA's handling of the Deutch security breach, but release of the report is being delayed by Sen. Carl Levin, Michigan Democrat, who is challenging its findings, according to congressional sources. The Pentagon officials said the compromises are based on a "worst case" estimate that information requiring extraordinary secrecy has been released improperly or gathered clandestinely by foreign spies. "We don't know the full extent," said one official. "But until we do, you have to assume there were serious compromises." A second defense official said: "A security and counterintelligence investigation is needed to determine where is the information, and a damage assessment is needed to determine what has been compromised." Officials said the case is potentially the most damaging security breach in the Pentagon's history because of the secrets involved. For example, special access programs include vital defense information used during wartime. During the Persian Gulf war, one special access program was set up to protect information about a flaw in a foreign-built radar system used by the Iraqi military, which provided a major advantage to U.S. allied military forces during the conflict.

Why is he sticking up for MEGAmole Deutch??
