The search is on, officially at the Pentagon and otherwise amongst various media, for the source of the large intelligence leak of U.S. classified documents posted on the Internet in March. Reuters reports that the “breadth of topics addressed” in the 50-60 documents that they’ve examined suggests an inside job. They quote a former senior Pentagon official, and ABC consultant Michael Mulroy: “The focus now is on this being a U.S. leak, as many of the documents were only in U.S. hands.”
Reuters also cites two U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, whom they interviewed yesterday, who say that the Pentagon suspects a U.S. citizen, and the officials list possible suspects ranging from being a “disgruntled employee to an insider threat who actively wanted to undermine U.S. national security interests.”
