So, it was top secret, but CIA Director Panetta felt he could safely say it in front of an audience of 1300, which just happened to include an uncleared movie screen writer making a movie to glorify the administration before an election. And the speech still can't be released without 90 lines redacted. Of course, Attorney General Eric Holder has nothing to say about it and Panetta was then moved to a less responsible post, Secretary of Defense. If a DoD contractor employee had done this, he would be on his way to Leavenworth for 20 years, or on the midnight flight to Moscow to move in with Edward Snowden.

Significantly, the entire transcript of the Panetta speech provided to Judicial Watch by the CIA is classified “Top Secret.” More than 90 lines are redacted for security reasons, further confirming that significant portions of the speech should not have been made in front of the filmmaker who lacked top security clearance.

Hollywood’s Mark Boal, who produced “Zero Dark Thirty,” was at this awards ceremony. According to internal documents from the CIA received by Judicial Watch as part of the group’s FOIA request, Mr. Panetta’s entire speech was classified “Top Secret.” And Mr. Panetta shouldn’t have spoken those words in front of Mr. Boal, who didn’t have a top security clearance, Judicial Watch reported.
