Wavering Reid - Monday, December 19, 2005 @ 3:44:47 PM

"My personal opinion is it was a shameful act for someone to disclose this very important program in a time of war." President Bush said that this morning in discussing last week's NYT plant about the NSA monitoring al Qaeda operatives and al Qaeda sympathizers by way of Presidential order. But he might as well have been speaking about any number of "strategic" leaks by Senate, CIA and other operatives interested in making political hay and embarrassing the United States.

Over the weekend, the media noted that Sen. Harry Reid had been strangely silent about the latest revelations, and we're hearing there was good reason for this: he was attempting to find out if the leak had come from within offices that he had oversight of control over. "We got the impression that he wanted to jump onto this things early on Friday, but he held us all back from talking. We were hearing that he wanted to make sure there wasn't going to be any blowback on him," says a Senate Democratic leadership aide.

I think that Reid may be being investigated and I surely hope so.

That bit of history was part of a one man show that premiered in New Orleans at the end of the Republican National Convention in 88. We stayed over to see the show and it was worth seeing. I've forgotten who played the parts but I'll refresh on google.

Isn't it Treason to give information to the enemy? I understand it is an up hill job to prove it thought. But it sure would be nice to hang it around Harry's neck.

I LOVE Sen. Kyl -- he's our OTHER senator. Yes, Arizona has TWO, although you wouldn't know it because McLame is always hogging the limelight.

It seems that it wouldn't be that hard to figure out. Not many people have this top secret info. Start with the democratic and Republican senators on the Intelligence committee and go from there. Shouldn't be too hard.

Filthy Harry Reid reminds me of Pigpen, in "Peanuts". No matter where he goes, Pigpen rains dirt on everyone around. Ala Filthy Harry Reid.
