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.

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."

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.

"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.
