White House Compromising Intelligence with bin Laden Movie?

Did the Obama administration compromise intelligence and sensitive military information by giving a Hollywood director high level access to details of the killing of Osama bin Laden? That’s what Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, wants to investigate.

In a letter to the inspectors general at the Department of Defense and the CIA, King expresses concern about the cooperation between the White House and the filmmakers of an upcoming movie about the raid in Abbottobad, Pakistan, that killed bin Laden. He refers to Maureen Dowd’s August 7 column in the New York Times in which Dowd reported that director Kathryn Bigelow and her crew were “getting top-level access” to the details of the operation.
