No, I don't think that's a very good idea.

But I would like to see some substantiation for the claims made by the WSJ editors. I mean, the cat's out of the bag at this point...if they are going to claim judicial oversight for the program up to this point, than prove it. And they won't have to expose any more state secrets to do so, either. At least it'll help to get the idiot lib-tards off W's back so he can go back to doing his job (e.g. protecting the country).

My, aren't we optimistic tonight?!! LOL!

Check out this from Mark Levin at NRO's The Corner:

I am curious about something. Jay Rockefeller has released a letter in which he complains about the NSA program on which he'd been briefed. He said the July 17, 2003 letter had been sealed and secured in the offices of the Senate Intelligence Committee. So, he goes to great lengths concealing his views for to voice them might reveal classified information. In his letter he expresses frustration that he can't even consult with staff or counsel, and he can't draw on independent legal or technical expertise. Dianne Feinstein said last night that she has not discussed this matter with Rockefeller because she's not on the Senate Intelligence Committee and it would be inappropriate for her to do so. Fine so far. But if Rockefeller went to such lengths to conceal his views, and if even Feinstein (a fellow senator) insists that she can't discuss this with Rockefeller (presumably, then, Rockefeller can't discuss it with her and other colleagues who weren't briefed), then from where might the New York Times have reported this tidbit in its original story:
"According to those officials and others, reservations about aspects of the program have also been expressed by Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, the West Virginia Democrat who is the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee ..."
I can't imagine this trail would be difficult for leak investigators to follow. Who knew that Rockefeller had reservations? Maybe they should start with, say, Rockefeller?
Lie detectors for everyone! Bush CAN NOT let this leak go unadressed. It's gotten out of hand and he's got to get a lasso on the bureaucracy.
