Recent events have drawn attention away from the investigation of manipulated ISIS intelligence, but it’s a hot story that keeps heating up.

The intelligence products that were initially provided by Defense Department intelligence analysts–who claim that their reports were significantly altered by Obama administration officials to provide favorable analysis related to the U.S.-led coalition’s operations against ISIS–to U.S. Central Command, have now been revealed to the public, by way of a Daily Beast report on their findings.

Ed Henry of Fox News reported that the number of Hillary Clinton emails in the new release has increased to 7,000, while the number of messages that had to be redacted to protect classified material is more than double what was expected.

Germany’s equivalent to the CIA, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), helped U.S. intelligence services pinpoint the location of Al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, according to a new report published Sunday by Germany’s most circulated newspaper.

Regardless of what one may think about the journalistic practices of Seymour Hersh, it cannot be denied that he has reignited important discussion about how the United States came to find Al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden and the role of the Pakistani government in harboring the terrorist.
