Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we lose Bin Laden in the late 90s because of a leak that we could eavesdrop on his cell/satellite phone?

The "Hatch" sprung a leak, IIRC

In August '01 if I recall, we seized a computer that contained vital 9/11 info that could very well have prevented it. The rules the democrats are whining about are the rules that kept us from stopping 9/11

That's true

That is correct. Guess who leaked it? Hint; it's one of the current most vocal anti-American Senators.

Ah, that was back in the good old days when the US treated terrorism as a law enforcement issue. A policy that was so effective that we had the WTC 1 trial morph into the now WTC at all.

And Patrick Fitzgerald was involved in these prosecutions and we all know Fitz can do no wrong.

Shhhhhhh.... The only leaks that we should care about are those that could be damaging to the Bush Administration. We don't need to worry about leaks on current "black operations," since those might actually help the "bad guys" (i.e. the ones that dems and MSM are rooting for) win the war, kill Americans, and make the Bush Administration look bad.
