'Tantamount to Treason': Gorka Condemns Distortion of ISIS Intel
Dr. Sebastian Gorka appeared on "Hannity" last night to react to a bombshell report that reveals officials from the U.S. military’s Central Command altered key data to downplay the threat of ISIS.
Gorka said the report, which comes from a House Republican panel, confirms allegations by dozens of intelligence analysts that their reports were altered by CENTCOM higher-ups.
"This act of willfully distorting and playing down the intelligence assessments when American is at war is tantamount to being a treasonous act," Gorka said.
He likened it a member of the intelligence community "watering down" the assessments of what the Japanese or Germans were doing during World War II.
"If that person were found out, they have been court-martialed and they could have been executed," Gorka said. "This is political interference in the intelligence cycle. It is absolutely outrageous, and it will endanger American lives."
He said this is further evidence that the Obama administration will not allow any intelligence to counter their narrative that their policies are working and the fight against ISIS is going well.
"ISIS has become the Godzilla of international jihad. 80,000 jihadis, territory with six million people on their new Caliphate, and with attacks happening outside the war zone every 84 hours. That's the truth. That's the reality."
