#1 Another systems problem. Who knew? Exactly how much UBL, Benghazi, and "Extortion 17" data was lost forever? This might have been prevented had Obama's $1.7-billion in Iranian payments arrived when initially demanded.

Had we not read about this at Yahoo, we might never have known. I ask you, where would we be today without anonymous sources ?

#3 From around 2009 to 2013, the U.S. intelligence community experienced crippling intelligence failures...

The failures sources happened on this guy's watch.

Gen. Michael V. Hayden, U.S. Air Force (May 30, 2006–February 13, 2009)

The actual damage on this guy's watch

Leon E. Panetta (February 13, 2009–June 30, 2011)

And this guy tried to fix things and got slashed by insider politics and the swamp creatures.

Gen. David Petraeus, U.S. Army (September 6, 2011–November 9, 2012)

#7 How many leaks will turn put to have started from someone using a personal device to communicate using a personal text or email address outside official, secure channels, whether for privacy from management or sheer laziness?
