#1 At the DoD level, you can appropriately pin the Operational Security (OPSEC) failure rose on SECDEF Leon Penetta and the fella who appointed him. OPSEC is not rocket science and numerous regulations at various levels across the intelligence community cover security procedures quite well. Problems arise when, like nearly everything else, you fail to enforce the standards.

Well, you know the saying - "All's fair in love and war and Obama's re-election."

#3 Someone(s) need to go to jail, that is for sure, because I'm sure MI6 and CIA didn't officially release this for public consumption.

As far as actual damage is concerned, I don't think it's much. I'm sure Al-Qaeda figured out that they'd been had five minutes after the guy didn't show up for his martyr video. I doubt any TTP beyond what AlQ could figure out for themselves regarding the penetration have been revealed.

The thing that bugs me the most is that they can't keep a secret. What if it were something bigger?

Were any TTPs revealed that would be harmful to our side? Like how we observed them, held off on airstrikes, etc.?
