(WASHINGTON TIMES) The Pentagon inspector general for months has been sitting on a report that former Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta disclosed top secret information at an award ceremony attended by a Hollywood executive working on a controversial movie about the manhunt for Osama bin Laden.
Mr. Panetta made the disclosures in June 2011, when he was CIA director, at an agency headquarters event honoring participants in the Navy SEAL raid that killed bin Laden, according to an unreleased report drafted by investigators from the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General.
The report, demanded by Rep. Peter King, New York Republican, in August 2011, was obtained and posted online by the anti-waste watchdog Project On Government Oversight (POGO).
