Why was Mark Boal even invited to the speech? Of course Panetta claims he didn't know he was in the audience even though the CIA invited the idiot - the usual refrain from this inept administration when they do something stupid.
"Former Central Intelligence Agency Director Leon Panetta inadvertently disclosed top-secret information to a Hollywood screenwriter about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, according to a draft Defense Department report and former officials familiar with the events.
In a June 2011 speech at a ceremony to mark the successful raid weeks earlier, Mr. Panetta recognized the unit of Navy SEALs that carried it out, according to the report drafted by officials in the Pentagon inspector general's office. Mr. Panetta "identified the ground commander by name" and provided information the Pentagon classifies as secret, the report said. In the audience was Mark Boal, screenwriter for the film "Zero Dark Thirty," who had been invited by the CIA to attend."
