We need to quit messing around with the penny ante Valerie Plame "crime" and get serious about prosecuting the leaks of the overseas prisons and this NSA store.

I'm not entirely sure this is a leak. All of this stuff keeps coming from "anonymous sources." An anonymous sources is Constitutionally protected information, even in the investigation of a crime.

Now think for a second. You're a left-wing MSM reporter. It's a slow news day. You have carte blanche to make up sources. What do you do?

The Bush admin should find the mole and have a special bar-b-que, Texas style.

I would have assumed that any international call or email was subject to interception by the NSA. Gawd, I'd hope so.

When are our Intel Agencies both domestic and military going to start putting those who leak anything, into the slammer. This crap has to stop. If the agency directors do not take control and put a stop to this balony, then they should be fired the next frigen time anything leaks. No excuses period.

But if this story is true, doesn't it bother you that these things are being done w/o a warrant? Whatever happened to the seperation of powers?

If the reporter has no source ... how did he get the info? It is a prima facie leak.

I wonder if they can figure out how Nigeria has all that money and no way for the heirs to access it.

The CIA prefers to just leak their intelligence, beats THEM having to do anything about any of it...

30 years of PC liberal/communist infiltration has left our primary foreign intelligence agency ball-less and a world-wide joke.

Who do you think that Uncle Sam is listening to?

Most likely people who follow the R.O.P.

Key word in the original article, international... falls under intelligence rules, no warrant needed. Warrant would be required if it were domestic.

Everyone always assumes these leaks to the New York Times are coming from the CIA. But guess who held a closed-door intelligence meeting today?

The Senate Committee on Intelligence. That's where Douglas Jehl from the New York Times seems to be getting most of his intelligence information, IMHO. His "bombshell" articles usually come out the day after a closed-door hearing of that committee.

The powers are separated just fine, this has always been a function of the NSA.

They are not reporters, they are propagandists...making up stories to fit their views is part of the job description.
