My apologies- my full post didn't make it and I had to leave. Regarding the semi-paranoia about only one (conservative) site "Hot Air" covering this story, what follows is what I was trying to post.

Pleeease explain what part of "the only site that had any info"? means in light of this very small portion of the 10,000,000 hits listed on Google? Your mis-statements literally imply conspiracy where clearly, none exists. (At least in this case.)

BTW- I simply Googled "Obama State Secrets"
