China crippled CIA by killing US sources, says New York Times

Up to 20 CIA informants were killed or imprisoned by the Chinese government between 2010 and 2012, the New York Times reports, damaging US information-gathering in the country for years.

It is not clear whether the CIA was hacked or whether a mole helped the Chinese to identify the agents, officials told the paper.

They said one of the informants was shot in the courtyard of a government building as a warning to others.

Amazing story from earlier today if true.

The CIA did not comment on the report.

Let´s see.....

-Obama appoints Clinton as Sec of State late Jan 2009.

-Clinton almost immediately begins using her ´private´ server-in-the-bathroom for her Sec of State emails.

-Several foreign countries (presumably including China) find and hack into this server.

-Obama establishes the practice of receiving the Presidential Daily (intelligence) Briefing on a tablet computer, and sends copies to various admin officials, presumably including Clinton, on her unsecured server, enabling the Chinese to read the Presidential Daily Briefing every day, likely before Clinton bothered to read it.

Isn't anyone even remotely curious to see if there's any connection?
