Drone Program Secrets Could Create Havoc in the State

A former Air Force Intelligence analyst pleaded guilty to leak classified documents to a reporter about a military Drone Program. The information included confidential schemes of the military strikes against Al-Qaeda and other terrorists.The guilty pledge comes ten days after when Daniel Hale was slated to go on a trial in the federal court in Alexandria. The pledge came after he allegedly violates the World War I Espionage act.

The Drone strikes against the terrorist targets were vital to creating a terrifying atmosphere for invaders of the territory of the United States. Hale admitted leaking roughly a dozen top-secret documents to a reporter in 2014. All the mishandling was done when he worked for a contractor as an analyst at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

The court arbitration does not provide the links to the recipient of the leaks, but the amplitude of the documents makes it clear that the documents got leaked to Jeremy Schill. He was then working as a reporter at the Intercept. Through the leaked documents he concocted a series of sensitive reports on how the military conducted drone strikes against terrorist attacks.

The initial indictment against Daniel Hale claims that he reached out to the reporter back in 2013 while still condemned to the Air Force and assigned to the National Security Hales lawyers on the other hand tried every piece of manipulation to toss the case in their favor. But the valiant efforts turned out against him in the long term. His lawyers argued that the case was selective and vindictive prosecution.

Defense Administration officials said that Hale got penal action for leaking information about the negative impacts of the drone program. However, the government was unmoved about anonymous leaks by government officials about successful strikes.
