Many a reporter has hitched a ride onto Page One with the leak of intelligence much rawer than the stuff in Feith's memo.

Some more reporters should have been mentioning the memo, if only to question its legitimacy.

They didn't even do that...which makes it clear that their bosses don't want the memo to get air time or media space.

I'm sure that, somewhere, some liberal media honcho is trying to find something connected with the memo that can blame Bush big-time.

If the honcho or an underling succeeds in pointing a finger at Bush, we will hear about the memo.

Not only the lib media, but the CIA bureaucrats, Sen. Rockefeller and Sen. Roberts. Roberts is still wasting time being bipartisan, I guess. From the WPost 11/18/03

"The CIA will ask the Justice Department to investigate the leak of a 16-page classified Pentagon memo that listed and briefly described raw agency intelligence on any relationship between Saddam Hussein's Iraqi government and Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network, according to congressional and administration sources.

"In addition, the leaders of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and Vice Chairman John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), are considering making their own request for a Justice investigation. The top-secret memo was attached to an Oct. 27 letter to them from Undersecretary of Defense Douglas J. Feith."

At least one publication has done just that:
