The Obama administration’s top national security lawyers said today that  recent leaks of classified information have already compromised intelligence sources and methods, and that the Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, had appointed his top counter-intelligence executive, Robert M. “Bear” Bryant, to come up with better ways of tamping them down.
General counsels for the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense and the head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division spoke for the first time in public, together, at an American Bar Association conference  national security.
Asked by a moderator to describe the priority issues he deals with, Robert Litt, the DNI’s general counsel, said he has been in meetings where it was revealed that “leaks of classified information have caused specific and identifiable losses of intelligence capbilities, where [something] appeared in the press and this target changed his behavior.”
