A leak of US documents about alleged Israeli plans

 Rick Moran:

A "deeply concerning" leak of U.S. classified documents apparently involving Israel's preparations for a retaliatory attack on Iran was posted on the Telegram Channel of "Middle East Spectator," which is described as pro-Iranian.

CNN authenticated the documents attributed to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) and National Security Agency (NSA). Any intelligence from those agencies is among the most closely guarded secrets of the U.S. government.

“The leak is very concerning. There’s some serious allegations being made there, an investigation underway, and I’ll get a briefing on that in a couple of hours,” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told CNN’s “State of the Union. “We’re following it closely.”

One of the documents says the Israeli Air Force is preparing for a strike on Iran in retaliation for Iran's missile barrage earlier this month, and conducted “a second large-force employment exercise." The Air Force is “likely to practice air-to-air refueling and combat search and rescue operations with a large number of aircraft,” according to the documents as reported by Politico.

Another document, attributed to the NSA, reports that "Israeli air force exercises involving air-to-surface missiles, also believed to be in preparation for a strike on Iran," according to CNN.
...

If Israel has such plans they would be an appropriate response to Iran's recently unprovoked missile attack on Israel that was thwarted by the Israeli missile defense system.  Iran is currently in the grips of a bunch of Islamic religious bigots who hate Israel for rejecting Islam.  Congress should find those responsible for the leak and bring them to justice.  They are a serious threat to an important US ally.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
