Yesterday Fox News Insider<\/a> posted a story about the failed rescue attempt of hostages<\/a> in Syria<\/a>. In the statement revealing the rescue attempt, senior Obama Administration<\/a> officials stated that at least six European<\/a> hostages freed by the militants this spring had been debriefed by U.S. intelligence, giving us the information we needed to attempt a rescue. Think about the consequences of that making a public statement about those debriefings.<\/p>\n

The article quotes Lt. Col. Ralph Peters<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Peters said the release of those details by the administration was shameful and could only be effective as weak political cover.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“You just don’t do it,” he said, adding that the release of details is disgraceful and murderous\u00a0because it potentially endangers not only our soldiers for future raids but also the hostages that are still being held by ISIS, since we advertised that we received key intelligence from released hostages.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“You think\u00a0the Islamic state<\/a> is going to release more\u00a0hostages? We signed their death warrants!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Obama Administration needs to think more carefully about the information it releases. We saw the consequences of announcing that Seal Team Six<\/a> killed Osama Bin Laden<\/a>. Let’s not do this again.<\/p>\n
