As much as I would love for the leaker to be a Democrat, I'll bet that it was a Republican, or else Bush would have revealed who it was.

Why? Remember when he protected Clinton by trying to convince the press that the White House wasn't trashed?

Kinda doubt that. Bush is trying to "unite" the parties and the people. Who ever did it should be publicly shot.

I have heard it was a Senator, no name given, and I wouldn't speculate as to which Party the Senator belonged to since we have Loose Lips Hatch out there. Thank goodness the Post called the WH to get the info cleared before they printed it. That was right nice of them;)

If it was Senator Hitlery then the media will jump all over itself to say there was no need for the information to remain classified and she was providing a public service.

The Washington Compost continues its long tradition of hate America/Americans, blame America/Americans, and placing the lives of Americans trying to fight the real enemies of America at peril. They used to do this during Nam and loved to post names of CIA agents in countries to blow their cover. Of course this put those agents at risk for their lives. If they were in a country as a state dept. person and had their families with them, their entire family was at risk!

The Katherine Graham tradition continues at the Compost!
