United Kingdom chides US for leaking Manchester bombing probe details

And how are they certain it was US officials that leaked it and not UK officials that leaked it?

Well, Manchester Police have stated they are not going to pass on security details to US agencies any more as the very next step is that the information / pictures are released to US media.

Theresa May is to raise concerns with Donald Trump after evidence from the Manchester Arena bombing was apparently leaked to US media.

BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera says UK officials believe that US law enforcement rather than the White House is the likely culprit for the leaks.

Only to the incurious and well-indoctrinated.

For those curious and open-minded amongst us, it provides a perspective very different from the presstitute western media.

As always with you. Nothing you post is fact. Everything you post is tantamount to fake news. You have zero credibility.

The complaints you are making about trump are based on reports by the NY Times or Washington Post and their reports are based on rumors suppliled to them by the little birdie.

No names just rumors

These leaks are coming from inside the intelligence agencies

Proof?

Some details were only known inside the intelligence agencies.

The same ones that are leaking other classified information to the leftwing news media

Homeland Sec has been the worst cabinet since it's inception. However it could have been any agency with it's finger in the pot.

Homeland Security is another example of small-government conservatism at work. Kinda like the Patriot Act, and conservative concern for individual rights and freedoms.

Which details?
 
Obama's band of NSA spies and the complicit media.

Nice job. Way to treat an ally.

Our government has always had a problem with leaks. Some administrations more than others, but leaks occur in all.

How do you know the leak didn't come from a Trump loyalist or even at the direction of the Trump Administration in an attempt to influence the decision in his Muslim ban court case?
 
Fearandloathing said:
What do you have other than a bias in favor of all things Trump to even suggest British officials who wanted it kept secret would leak it top the US media?

I suggest this administration is so deep in cover-up mode they are looking for any means whatsoever to get on the good side of the media. We have motive, ability and causation and a history of incompetence....

Look there first

Leaks happen all the time for whatever reason.. maybe a NYT reporter was testing a source in the British Government or someone in the British Government owed a favor to NYT reporter for sitting on a story. You never known. Reality this is more about British Press and Government pissed about "protocol" rather then the information got out. British Press sits on information for the UK Government all the time. US press doesn't sit on stories for the US Government so why would they for UK Government?

Man, you really want to punish your allies don't you?

If the situation were reversed you'd be calling for the death penalty

I don't give a **** either way. European press (including British) ran with Snowden story.. did the US Government piss and moan.. nope.
 
Fearandloathing said:
So, when Trump admitted leaking secrets to the Russians that was a lie?

You lie a lot.

A President can't leak a secret. He has absolute authority in choosing what's classified and what's not.
 
So America made a mistake.

It's the UK's fault for accepting so many migrants

Well it appears NYT reporter knew the identity of the bomber before the Manchester police had identified him. Hmmmm.....the plot thickens. :mrgreen:
Click to expand...

Not really. Manchester police went through MI-5 and MI-6.. they called the CIA and FBI since it's actually the US that has the massive database, not the GCHQ. We, the US, identified him and passed it on to the Brits.. that's how it always go when British are caught off guard.

And I don't fault them for it. Whether or not this particular event was leaked by US we all know there is a big problem with leaking in US government that has been going on for several years now.

So you honestly think the NY Times' leak is a Trump teamed? Did you not see the Obama story with the massive spying on Americans?

I honestly think you don't know who the leak the came from or why, but you have a partisan default mode of blaming Obama.

Liberal anti trumpsters in the intelligence agencies have a known connection to the liberal media

So they are the most likely suspects
