Ex-FBI agent to plead guilty to being AP source Mia Aldana Period 2

Summary: This former FBI Agent had to plea guilty because he leaked important information to the Associated Press about Yemen 2012. He is going to jail for 11 years and 8 months. He was also arrested for child pornography, that is how they found out about the leak. The next paragraphs tell of the evidence that they found on his phone computer, DVD, and other electronic devices. Then they stated that they will not let this kind of situation happen again.

Analysis: This is mostly a ethos and logos article, mostly trained on giving the reader the facts and reactions about this situation. The author gave a very bold title to capture the readers eye and make them want to read the article. The entire piece is mostly the main problem in the first paragraph and then it shows the people surrounding the investigations reactions. It also tells you about what had led them to the leak and all the evidence that they found against him telling the AP. In the end it was a little bit of pathos of telling that this kind of thing will not happen again and give reassurance to people.

    That guy should so be in prison for way longer than 11 years. What a slap on the wrist! He should be considered a US traitor, locked away for life.

  2. i think your analysis should be made up of your opinions of the article, not what strategies the author uses. i'd like to know how you feel about this! This honestly creeps me out, like this guy had so much information but also child pornography so he could expose way way too much
