Investigating this is a great idea! This is an example of the Press functioning as "players and partisans" rather than "reporters and commentators." By becoming players in the political fray, they become fair game for the investigator.

Their names, public comments and hints of wrong doing are common knowledge. Now, they should be grilled on the "leaks." It is also a good time to punish "leakers." Bravo for Bush II.

He's complaining about 12 hours?

Oh Please
