Dana Priest is a national-security correspondent for the Washington Post. Her professional success depends in large part on her ability to ferret out secrets from the U.S. intelligence and defense bureaucracy and from knowledgeable officials on Capitol Hill.

Sources within government, acting in violation of the laws governing secrecy, regularly provide her with classified information in exchange for her promise not to disclose their identity, even if this means she must defy a court order and possibly go to jail. This year, Priest won a major journalism award for a November 2005 article bringing to light the highly classified fact that the CIA had established detention facilities for terrorists in foreign countries.

Yup. I’d like to see more busts along this line...time to raid the homes of some civilian employees and military officers that are leaking.

That's the only way we'll bring an end to it.

Thanks for pulling that photo out of the article and posting it. Says a lot doesn’t it?

So many women willing to cover their heads for the Islamofascists who treat them like dirt.

Are all “feminists” hypocrits?

"My secret CIA informants tell me the US has teams here, here and here. "

"The plan is to intercept your troops here. "

"Don't thank me."
"American is the #1 terrorist in the world to me and my friends in the US. "

The Post is peopled by a lot more than mere political activists. It's an active hotbed of blind antisemitic and anti-American intrigue.

Although their printing plant is within walking distance of several mosques, including one attended regularly by the AlQaida Dulles airport 9/11 ground support team, it was not attacked.

They are the primary reason corporate ownership of a newspaper should not be allowed.

Thanks for the two posts.

Yes, the Justice Department has taken a few actions—but too little and too late, IMHO.
