How many classified leaks are there going to be before someone starts doing something about it?

Good question .. cause I sure would like to know

I want to know WHO IS THE LEAKER

[nuffsenuff]

Hmmmm... Let's see. Who is on record talking to the NYT over a year ago and is claiming he never talked to anyone about secret programs?

Hmmmm...

John D. Rockefeller, perhaps?

There comes a point where the MSM does not have the right to protect it's sources confidentiality because doing so facilitates or perpetrates a threat to the public.

They've crossed over that point repeatedly in the last couple of months.

I want to know WHO IS THE LEAKER

Leakers would be more accurate. From the original US News Article:

Two individuals, who declined to be named because the program is highly classified, spoke to U.S. News because of their concerns about the legality of the program. At its peak, they say, the effort involved three vehicles in Washington, D.C., monitoring 120 sites per day, nearly all of them Muslim targets drawn up by the FBI.

--Snip--

One source close to the program said that participants "were tasked on a daily and nightly basis," and that FBI and Energy Department officials held regular meetings to update the monitoring list. "The targets were almost all U.S. citizens," says the source. "A lot of us thought it was questionable, but people who complained nearly lost their jobs. We were told it was perfectly legal."

--Snip--

Among those said to be briefed on the monitoring program were Vice President Richard Cheney; Michael Brown, then-director of the Federal Emergency Management Administration; and Richard Clarke, then a top counterterrorism official at the National Security Council.

--Snip--

"There were a lot of false positives, and one or two were alarming," says one source. "But in the end we found nothing."

The article makes it SOUND like the leaker worked on the NEST project. But notice who is missing from the list of persons briefed about it - Senate and House Intelligence Committees.

If the Democrats are leaking this, they are really stupid. Joe Sixpack doesn't care much whether NEST's monitoring of radiation levels outside homes is constitutional. All they care is that the President is keeping America safe from dirty bombs by using NEST to monitor suspected terrorists.

Just watch the President's approval rating rise. Again.

At this point it seems evident a couple of things. The State and CIA were full of moles when Bush took office. After losing three months because of that Dem attempt to steal the 2000 election Bush had but a few months to get his act together before 9/11.

He had to appoint Condi to state, Goss to CIA, turnover for Ashcroft, Colin Powell's wishy-washiness, etc. FINALLY it's gotten to the point that these moles are being systematically eliminated.

It's either these former traitors that have been fired from the housecleaning doing the leaking. More likely, as dawn begins to break over our marble heads, it's actual SENATORS from the House of Lords likely doing th leaking, along with a few representatives.

I'm thinking, as with the NY Times, that these leaks have been out there waiting for the right time to spring. Obviously one of the right times was planned right after this December Iraqi election.

They simply don't want us to win this war. Now I must ask why?

All the world, including the two bit thugs in Nigeria was having a field day with Saddam's oil for food. And NO ONE in American knew anything?

Could be that finally getting around to completion of a lot of investigations some names are floating to the top?

Because I've thrown up my hands and refuse to say it's about idealology.

Follow the money.
