The NYT and Judith Miller seem to be on a bit of shakey ground here with their claim of protection of sources though, if the justice dept can tie in the leaks to terrorist supporting groups and partisan politics. The media claim of looking out for the public good would fly out the window. But then they still have the leftist judiciary to support them.
This really has me upset, it just highlights the importance of this election to preserving everything that is great about this country. I don't think we realized how close we were to losing it all in 2000.
Want to bet that if it was still Clintoon's justice department that this would be overlooked and we'd never hear about it?
Yes, it's frightening to see how members of the federal bureaucracy earning OUR tax dollars are busy leaking highly classified and sensitive information to support the media war on the Bush administration. The CIA and the FBI need to do a thorough house-cleaning after the election (when Bush/Cheney are re-elected!). Don't know if that will happen (hard to get that done in bureaucracies), but at the very least unreliable and treasonous people need to be move to marginal positions where they can't do as much harm.
