The former vice chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff is under investigation by the Justice Department regarding material in a book by David Sanger, a correspondent for The New York Times, a source directly familiar with the situation said Thursday.
The source could not confirm that the investigation involving Retired Marine Gen. James Cartwright is specifically about the Stuxnet computer virus, which Sanger writes about in his 2013 book "Confront and Conceal: Obama's Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power."
NBC News reported Thursday, citing legal sources, that Cartwright has been told he's under investigation for allegedly leaking classified information about Stuxnet, a complex virus that infected computers in Iranian nuclear facilities in 2010.
That leak was one of a series of national security-related leaks last year and had details of how the United States and Israel were behind the Stuxnet attack.

During Iran-Iraq war evil America supported Suddam Hossain and killed millions of Iranian people. In 1989, America, is the only country ever, shot down Iran's civilian air plane, killing 290 people.

I find it rather humorous that in the last few administrations when ever anyone shines a light on wrong doing, false information , or just embarrassing incompetence by a government official, or agency, it suddenly becomes "a matter of National Security" or "Executive Privilege"........ Examples: "The Pentagon Papers", "Fast and Furious", "Watergate" "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (Cite your own favorite examples...) So much for repeated promises of "an open and transparent government".....
This guy should have known better than to put this information in his book. He had to have known this information was classified. If you can't trust the pentagons second in command to honor his top secret clearance, who can you trust?
For the Dept of Injustice to be investigating anyone is a joke when most of them should be in jail
Wow, another comment from the regressive right peanut gallery. The way you people think, it's no wonder you can't win elections anymore
Why doesn't the Justice Department investigate the Bush Family in the murder of JFK using E.H. Hunt as the hit man under the direction of G.W. Bush?
Reblogged this on vtofighi and commented:
Is it related to Stuxnet and cyber attacks on Iran computers?

Writing a book and talking around a subject.
How funny. The DOJ investigating another Obama critic.
Imagine that........
When is Justice going after the money launderers at the banks, ad nauseum?
