My Comment: So .... US Secretary of Defense Panetta is angry .... I only wish that he was just as angry and enraged towards the White House and the leaks that have come out of that office in the past year than he is with a book that got published without his say-so. But .... we all know where this is heading .... "Mark Owen" is going to get punished .... but those from the White House will be left alone.
