Gingrich: Leaks show Obama administration 'shallow,' 'amateurish' - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room: "Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Sunday that President Obama and the White House deserve a large share of the blame for the massive amounts of classified information revealed through WikiLeaks.
Gingrich said the leaks are 'a scandal of the first order' and that they demonstrate the Obama administration is 'shallow' and 'amateurish' when it comes to national security.
'You have a private first class who downloads a quarter million documents, and the system doesn't say, 'Oh, you may be over extended?' I mean, this is a system so stupid that it ought to be a scandal of the first order,' Gingrich said. 'This administration is so shallow and so amateurish about national security that it is painful and dangerous.'
He also said the U.S needs to act fast in shutting down WikiLeaks and finding Julian Assange.
