John Brennan, CIA Email Hack and WikiLeaks Disclosure

CIA Director John Brennan and Homeland Security Secretary Jay Johnson had their personal email accounts compromised by a hacker using the handle "Crackers with Attitude" (CWA). WikiLeaks subsequently published documents from Brennan's AOL account, including a draft of his security clearance form from 2008. The hacker claimed the breach was a protest against U.S. policy in Palestine, while the hosts question the timing and the lack of sensitive intelligence in the leaked files.
