LEAK IN THE HOUSE (House Intelligence Chairman suspendeds Dem staffer for leak to NY Times) Posted on 10/20/2006 8:03:17 AM CDT by Uncledave
Leak in the House [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
By KATHERINE SHRADER, Associated Press Writer
House Intelligence Chairman Peter Hoekstra has suspended a Democratic staff member because of concerns he may have leaked a high-level intelligence assessment to The New York Times last month.
In a letter obtained by The Associated Press Thursday night, Rep. Ray LaHood (news, bio, voting record), R-Ill., a committee member, said that an unidentified staffer requested the document from National Intelligence Director John Negroponte three days before the Sept. 23 story about its conclusions.
The staffer received the National Intelligence Estimate on global terror trends on Sept. 21.
"I have no credible information to say any classified information was leaked from the committee's minority staff, but the implications of such would be dramatic," LaHood wrote Hoekstra, R-Mich., late last month. "This may, in fact, be only coincidence, and simply 'look bad.' But coincidence, in this town, is rare."
A spokesman to Hoekstra, Jamal Ware, confirmed that a committee staff member was suspended this week. He said the staff member is being denied access to classified information pending the outcome of a review.
"Chairman Hoekstra considers security highly important, and the coincidence certainly merits a review," he said.
An aide to California Rep. Jane Harman (news, bio, voting record), the committee's top Democrat, did not have an immediate comment Thursday night.
The New York Times did not immediately answer a telephone message seeking comment.

Sorry for the early ping, at work today.
Workin' and lurkin'.......
Top of the morning, MNJ!
I like an early ping. ;o)
So maybe busting this dim "staffer" for leaking to the NYSlime is the beginning of the REAL October Surprise........
I can almost see Rockefeller getting hustled out of the country as we speak.
Morning Johnnie. Thanks for the ping.
Thanks
Hey all!
Just so you know, IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS TO VOTE!
Thanks for the ping as always!
Check out this piece of junk from Jennifer Loven of the AP:
Bush Stumps for Adulterer, Candidate Accused of Slurs

HEY, RUSH—you need to see this today!
Apparently DUmmiecrats haven't figured that out and solicit illegals (and others who aren't allowed to vote such as felons) in their "get out the [illegal] vote" drives.
G'morning, All!
Not with this AG.
I don't need to read that article to know who Jennifer is talking about...
How any MSM person, or DEM, can possibly be critical of any "adulterer" is so HYPOCRITICAL....is should be thrown back in their faces.
Are you all partied out?
You want a good laugh, read this thread! ;-)

Amazing! I can't believe they put that in a headline. Jennifer Loven is a DNC hack!
Her carpet will be red for commie.
No, I felt bad for FF and sono.
I said a quiet "yay" and went to bed.
