The military's former No. 2 officer is being investigated for his alleged involvement in leaking information about a secretive government program to wage cyber warfare against the Iranian nuclear program, according to media reports.
Article PhotoNBC and the Washington Post report retired Marine Gen. James "Hoss" Cartwright is the target of a Justice Department probe into allegations that he released information about "Olympic Games," a cyber operation started under President George W. Bush and continued by President Barack Obama to infect Iranian centrifuges with a virus known as Stuxnet.
The investigation is a continuation of the Obama administration's crackdown on classified leaks within the government, including against the New York Times and theAssociated Press, which first reported the cyber program.
