Truly, truly; pathetic. Several dozen people at least knew better and instead of fixing it, tried to bury the guy who raised the alarm.

The IG had this information and didn’t act. Completely mind-blowing. Dozens of agents/assets killed. An entire class exploded.

Truly, a national embarassment and of course no one is going to jail.

According to the article the Iranians used advanced Google techniques like the "AND", and "OR" operators. Truly sophisticated work.

The CIA put their top-secret info on the public Internet, because password-protecting it was too inconvenient. Then adversaries found the info. US intelligence services treating foreign informants as expendable, as always. Also seen when US abandoned Afghan translators to be killed by Taliban.

Those aren't translators, those are snitches.
