The reporting of this bothers me. But what bothers me more is that there is(are) a mole(s) in the government that is leaking this. That's who needs to be skinned alive.

If the NBA can fine Mark Cuban $250,000 for running his mouth, surely Bush/Cheney can do more than whine about the Slimes publishing material that compromises national security.

[MizSterious]

Yes. We can expect the NYT to be traitorous--it's their nature. But the Bush admin MUST do something about the leaks, and the leakers MUST be punished, or all is lost. We can't let the media take control of the war in this way.

Most likely but it could be some commie, eurotrash, America hating insider in Brussels leaking.

Don't you know that government officials are better than us?
I mean Sandy "Burglar" stealing and destroying documents is nowhere
near as much of a threat to national security as a USAF TSgt leaving a
Secret folder locked in his desk while he went to the latrine.

You see Sandy protected the documents by destroying them,
while the TSgt did not properly secure them in an approved safe.

Isn't it obvious that Mr. Sandy was more consciencous about protecting
Mr. Clinton's the government's secrets? That is why Sandy got a slap on the wrist
(apparently because he properly destroyed the documents ) while the TSgt was busted
to SSgt and denied re-enlistment after his improper storage procedure was reported.

Do I really need to add any tags?

A few people need to loose their government pensions for leaking information in order to clarify the minds of the hacks.

Might not be in the government this time, or the phone call tracing. Might be someone in the banks or other institutions. In the phone records case, it might be someone in the phone company.

Whoever it was, they should be punished as the law allows, and as much as law allows.

I suspect the press can't be punished, except maybe for not revealing their sources to a grand jury and later a trial jury.

This program has been disclosed to the Senate Intel committee for ages. Feinstein and other dems have heard all about this. I'm leaks have to be coming from Dem staffers on the intell committee.
