By AFP on August 06, 2014 WASHINGTON - The latest media scoop about the internal workings of the US intelligence community has convinced officials they have a new leaker feeding information to journalists, reports said Tuesday.
The concerns came after The Intercept, a news site that has access to documents from known leaker Edward Snowden, published new revelations about the scope of the US terrorism watchlist.
The Intercept report was "obtained from a source in the intelligence community." Previously, it has not hidden when Snowden was its source, suggesting the latest scoop came from someone else.
News network CNN, citing only "US officials," reported that national security officers fear that they are now faced with a second source leaking classified intelligence from within their own ranks.

Comment; The governement is looking for another whistle blower a confident of Snowden
================================================================================================
By John Leyden,
It appears former NSA contractor Edward Snowden is not the only leaker of secret US documents around, as the US government searches for another whistleblower in the aftermath of another leak of classified information.
CNN reports that leaked documents related to a terrorist watch list and published by The Intercept (a site founded by Snowden confidante journalist Glenn Greenwald) didn't even exist before Snowden quit his job as a NSA contractor in Hawaii and high-tailed it from the US.
That means the former sysadmin couldn't have siphoned off this particular piece of secret information and that some other unknown source must be behind the leak.
