A whistleblower known only as "a high ranking terrorist leader," testifying anonymously behind a screen to protect his identity, told the committee "If Congress isn't briefed on every idea for anti-terrorism programs -- even before they reach the implementation stage -- it may be too late to leak those programs to the media so terrorists can be tipped off in time to avoid being killed."
The whistleblower revealed to a stunned audience that "I myself would be a target under one such program."
When one Member of Congress pointed out the allegedly "secret" plan to target certain terrorist leaders was originally reported in the New York Times in 2002, the whistleblower responded, "By 2002, I could have already been killed."
