Thanks for posting this info. I read some comments on here and decided to add my two cents on here.

I think this site has turned into the most negative bunch of people I have ever seen. The continual attacks on the President, the Senate, and the House are growing old on every thread. Instead of commenting on the article at hand we get the people making jokes or comments that nothing will happen. Most times they don't wait for facts before going negative.

How do they know nothing will happen? Leahy lost his seat on Intelligence when he leaked way back thus the name Leaky Leahy. Getting Rockefeller or Durbin off the Intelligence Committee would be a huge step. A lot of folks on here do not understand the rules that govern the Senate or they wouldn't make some statements I see on this site.

It is getting really annoying to start reading comments and get all these new screen names posting or old members with new screen names that don't have a positive thing to say. Probably about time for the Immigration people to hit the thread since they like to hit every thread.

You're probably correct. We can't hold RATS accountable, we're too busy trying to crucify Republicans.

With elections in 2006 coming, and the GOP behind in the polls over budget, border, and ports; sweeping all this bad PR aside with a trial of two Dem Senators for "treason", I think the GOP will not play along with protecting fellow Congressmen. Watch the indictments will come in the spring and leaks/investigations throughout the summer (slow news period). By September, the Dems will be badly bruised.

Seems to me I read something about him going to Jordan and telling them we were going to invade Iraq

Not exactly. Worse: Senator Jay Rockefeller Gave Syria Advance Warning Of Iraq War Intentions! (FNS Transcript).

I hope you are right but I am less than optimistic.

All Rocky the Squirrel needs to do is get Orrin Hatch to stand up on camera looking butt-whipped and fire some low level Republican staffer.

Then it will be all better..

Laws apply only to Republicans.

The annointed ruling class Democrats are above petty rules, especially in matters of treason.

They started calling him Leaky and he was removed from the intelligence Committee. Big deal. He is still a Senator isnt he? Still attacking the President isnt he? And which one was his replacement on the intelligence Committee? Rockefeller or Durbin.

People are negative in here because it is negative. Leahy should have been removed from the Senate or jailed. Same goes for Rockefeller if he is guilty, Any chance of that happening?? Hell no.

Rockefeller already admitted he wnet to saudi Arabia and Jordanand Syrian and told them Bush had his mind made up to attack Iraq. Thats traitorous, What happened to him? Zilch. Is he still welcome at the White House?? More than likely.

President Bush has turned the other cheek so many times he looks like a Bobble head toy.

The MSM always lets the Dem's get by with a fall guy to take the heat, but let some Republican do something and they will chase it down like Watergate until they get the top dog.

Thanks. It is something that needs to be said. I am hopeful that persistence with the truth will educate the nubies and they will bring more supportive information to the mix. They waste lots of time when they don't. :>)

Now the question I have is: what happens if we get ironclad undeniable 100% factual info that one of these low lifes is guilty??
Answer: Nothing.

Wrongo! What will happen is the guilty party will wail and moan about how he was the target of a "mean spirited" and "vicious" "smear" campaign. How dare we question his loyalty and patriotism! Why, the very definition of patriotism is to expose such horrible intrusions into the privacy of the American people!

Bottom line: The guilty party will be made into an instant Liberal hero.

As far as the justice that will be done? Nothing. :-)

If I may, I'd like to modify your comment ever so slightly ...

The reporters need to be deposed disposed.

I think the other thing that people forget with regard to this investigation is that the DU type activists in the Democrat Party are desperate to impeach GWB over the NSA surveillance program. This investigation is its Siamese twin in some ways. They are inextricably linked.

Does anybody think the MSM and the flaming gapers in the Dem party are going to just quietly walk away from plans of impeachment?

Caught a few minutes of Gary Hart on CSPIN this weekend.

He was bashing Woodward....now I see why! He dares to work with the White House.

Hart also bashed the NYSlimes.

There is so much stuff going on behind the scenes we can't figure it out.

Sounds like it may be time for Dickhead Durbin to be cuffed and "frog marched" out of the Capitol Building onto Pennsylvania Ave.

Before you comment please go read the rules and laws that govern Senators and members of Congress while in session.
