Asked about the release of Khan's name, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) said on Sunday it was a hard line to draw between giving the public too much or too little information about terrorist threats.

"We did not, of course, publicly disclose his name," Rice said, adding that it had been given "on background." She did not say when or by whom the name was first revealed.

So the Administration gave his name on "background"? What the hell does that mean, "background"???

Loose lips sink ships.
