I would love to see who does the leaking... I bet they are little sniveling rat weenies. I hope every one of them gets caught.

I think they should plant some false "classified documents" into some suspected leakers hands and see where it goes.

It said Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network pays close attention to publicly available information that will help it evade U.S. intelligence.

Newsmedia = source of intelligence for al-Qaida = spy.

Maybe W should tap the junior Senator from New York to head a committee to make recommendations on how to stop this. If anyone knows how to keep information away from the public and stifle potential informants, it's her.

"A growing body of reporting indicates that al-Qaida planners have learned much about our counterterrorist intelligence capabilities from U.S. and foreign media," the unclassified CIA note said.

It was unclassified...meaning it wasnt leaked.

I know you are taking a jab at Hitlery, but many of these people are part of the problem. Most of these Dems simply can not be trusted, just listen to the things they say. They are openly sympathetic to the enemy, and have access to all kinds of information.

It's got to be AFSCME liberal clerical workers hired out of Washington D.C., who have to be hired because of sheer numbers needed to staff the largest office building in the world.

There's just no way to avoid hiring some rats.

You beat me to it.

What would your reaction be if you circulated a memo demanding an immediate stop to press leaks - an then saw an AP article dissecting that same memo?

Oooohhhhh - you're devious. I like it.
Forge several different fake documents - one for each suspect - and then see which one(s) make it out to the press.

They need to use a few of these - maybe that will get the attention of some of these egomaniacal traitors.

A NICE NECKTIE

New York Times - "Govt says: Nuke First, ask questions later, says CIA document"

Hey buddy? Youre on hidden camera, your under arrest for treason and espianage. Thanks! Any other potential leakers??? No?? No one wants to play anymore?

I think that would solve the problem real quick.

I know that. It was mostly in jest, but as long as they have access to the information, it's nearly impossible to keep them from leaking it. Just once I'd like to see one of their own in the hot seat for it when it happens.

Unexplained plane crashes seem to work, too.

I can practically guarantee you the rat weenies are dull-normal Clintonista lackeys whose main qualifications are skin color, gender, and/or disability.
