Yep, this administration is more Nixonian than Nixon's. Not only have they tried to silence (and intimidate) the Benghazi whistleblowers, the most transparent administration evah is apparently trying to silence the Inspector General for Afghanistan reconstruction.

The watchdog who tracks the billions of taxpayer dollars spent to rebuild Afghanistan says government officials have tried to silence him because they think he's embarrassing the White House and Afghan President Hamid Karzai by pointing out the waste and fraud.

John Sopko, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction, used a speech at the New America Foundation on Wednesday to blast government “bureaucrats”' who have told him to stop publicizing damning audits that detail case after case of waste, corruption and mismanagement of rebuilding efforts in Afghanistan. Some government officials have even complained that they aren't allowed to pre-screen or edit his reports, he said.

“Since my appointment by the president last summer, I have been surprised to learn how many people both in and out of the government do not understand the role of an independent inspector general,” Sopko said.

...

“Over the last 10 months, I have been criticized by some bureaucrats for not pre-clearing my press releases with them, for not letting them edit the titles of my audits, for talking too much to Congress, for talking too much to the press … and, basically, for not being a 'team player' and undermining 'our country’s mission in Afghanistan,'” he said.

“Many in our government, even some surprisingly senior officials you think would know better, seem to believe that an inspector general should be their partner — or, more correctly, their silent partner,” he said. “In their opinion, my reports should be slipped in a sealed envelope in the dead of night under the door — never to see the light of day — because those reports could embarrass the administration, embarrass President Karzai, embarrass Afghanistan.”

Goodness knows we should always put the Emperor's image ahead of everything else. Pretty soon he'll be demanding we all turn out for some hero worship a la the Norks.

Its actually a better story than what it appears here Tom and you ruined it with your spin In my opinion. But have you read his actual work?

Check this PDF out.

Its limited but this one though dated gives a clear picture as to why this guy is at the top of the food chain. He takes no prisoners and isn't intimidated. If the prez was going to hide something this isn't the guy to appoint.

What part of violating his probation agreement do you not understand? You know like all those criminals who lose rights when they get convicted?

Youssef served most of his 21-month prison sentence for using more than a dozen aliases and opening about 60 bank accounts to conduct a check fraud scheme, prosecutors said.

After he was released from prison, Youssef was barred from using computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.

Federal authorities have said they believe Youssef is responsible for the film, but they haven't said whether he was the person who posted it online. He also wasn't supposed to use any name other than his true legal name without the prior written approval of his probation officer.

Let's see, Obama ran PSAs in Pakistan, pandered at the UN saying, “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” and Hillary said "we will make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted”??

Right after that he was hauled away at midnight by 5 Sheriff deputies and thrown into a federal correctional facility on a probation violation without being summoned to court first. Coincidence, eh?

Dude, he may be scum but that was no coincidence. Zero needed a scapegoat, and instead of going before the world to defend freedom he pandered and had him hauled off for the underlying offense of exercising his first amendment rights, KNOWING full well the video had nothing to do with it. The wrong guy is paying the price for this terrorist attack and you know it.

In America we don't jail people for expressing an opinion... or at least we used to not do that.

Come on, the fellow is a criminal, a fraudister, does society really object when the law catches up with such people, the movie he made was some sort of scam and the mistake he made was releasing it anywhere

Then everything Hollywood puts out is a fraud. Because none of it is real or accurate.

Only Muslims think it's a crime to show other Muslims for what they really are.

At least in this country... Sharia and its oppression of everyone and everything isn't the law.

I can take a dump on a Koran if I want... and its my legal right to do so.
