Who's in the hot seat here? Do you know who the culprit/s is who said "100% chance of attack should we retaliate?"

I believe that was the shot across the bow. Any more leaks will be investigated by the FBI and CIA.

Go directly to jail, Do NOT pass go......

I liked how he CAME BACK to blasting Congressmen. To bring it up so forcefuly TWICE in a press conference was very significant.

President Bush was going to just make a few remarks after meeting with German PM Schroeder, but he decided to take a few questions. The presstitutes barraged him with questions about reports earlier today that he planned to severely curtail Congressional briefings. He really took off on this and hammered Congressional leakers, said that "some people seem to not take their responsibility seriously enough." I was startled by how fiery he was in his words as well as his tone. Very feisty and extremely confident. He is really a changed man, God bless him.

I had read somewhere that it was Orrin Hatch. He referred to "evil doers" more than once. He was very tough about the leaks.

Hey, I missed that too! Anyone got a transcript?

I just got word via email from my brother that he's headed "over there", well, he put it: "I can't say where, but this is one place Domino's Pizza won't make the 30 minute promise."

He's an AF engineer, has lots of experience laying down air strips in "hot spots". Please include him in your prayers.

I saw it. Truly amazing. Fleischer was grilled about the leak(s), too, but would not reveal whether it was a single incident or one person. Maybe it was B O.

Darn! I would have loved to have seen this one. Any chance it will be on the lame stream nightly snooze? Probably not.

The press is making fools out of themselves, IMO.

Looks like I was wrong. They actually covered it on the hourly news on the radio. Maybe they will cover it later.

I am fascinated by who it was who leaked to the NYT. The Hatch incident happened so long ago and I got the impression from the media today that the incident to which Bush was referring was much more recent.

My gut is that it is a Democrat Congressman. Perhaps Condit trying to polish his reputation among journalists.

As we Houstonians are "fond" of saying, if it's October, the disAstros must be losing.

Doubt it, but Fox probably will. Janet Parshall has been playing some of his remarks on her radio show.

He was not happy.

I used to be an "ordinance troop" in the AF in the 70s-80s, used to haul PSP around with the engineers to lay temp runways in various and sundry tropical parts of the world.

Your brother will be in my prayers.

My understanding is that it was the SENATE Intelligence Committee. That would rule out Condit.

Anyone have a list of who's on the Senate Intelligence Committee?

I saw it. He was pissed. I saw that he called them the evil ones too. Sen. Carl Levin-D is on now saying that his restrictions are too broad, but that he understands the need to keep certain things out of the hands of Congress. He said hopefully the Executive Branch is being scolded too because some DoD guys had been saying too much...
