6. Going after Glenn Greenwald who wrote about the Leaks to NYT about

the Obama so called "Kill List" where he chooses who and where the drones "take out Militants/Terrorists and the revelations in the MSM that Obama had ordered cyber attacks on Iran and others with the FLAME and Other Viral Attacks.

Glenn felt that if Obama "Officials" were leaking stuff to NYT and others as a campaign effort to show how strong he was on Foreign Policy that the "Whistle Blowers" that Obama's DOJ has gone against should be able to claim that if they are prosecuted for leaking classified info...then why isn't Obama's Campaign being prosecuted for the same thing.

ACLU has been told all our "Anti-Terrorist Activities" are too classified to reveal to ACLU and Human Rights Watchers and Advocates because our "War on Terror" efforts must be kept classified so that even lawyers defending Whistle Blowers are not allowed to see all the info the Govt. is using in their prosecution cases against them.

It's odd that Holder now decides to go against leakers when those two revelations about how our President is handling his War on Terror used quotes from people inside his own Administration. Why can they get away with leaking what should be classified info...while others who leak on moral conscience grounds are to be prosecuted but denied evidence to support them in trials?
