Obama in the line of fire for Osama raid bragging


WASHINGTON: A group of former US intelligence and Special Forces operatives is set to launch a media campaign , including TV ads, that scolds President Barack Obama for taking credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden and argues that high-level leaks are endangering American lives.

Leaders of the group, the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund Inc, say it is nonpartisan and unconnected to any political party or presidential campaign. It is registered as a so-called social welfare group, which means its primary purpose is to further the common good and its political activities should be secondary.

The OPSEC group first public salvo is a 22-minute film that includes criticism of Obama and his administration . The film, to be released on Wednesday.

"Mr President, you did not kill Osama bin Laden, America did. The work that the American military has done killed Osama bin Laden . You did not," Ben Smith, identified as a navy SEAL, says in the film.

"As a citizen, it is my civic duty to tell the president to stop leaking information to the enemy," Smith continues. "It will get Americans killed."
