Fox News

[Pukin Dog]

Just announced on Fox News, the Justice Department is going to investigate leaks pertaining to Goverment Wiretapping and Security programs.

[newfrpr04]

How about adding Plame, Reid, Pelosi,

[Arizona Carolyn]

It concerns me that there is more of these judges and even moles within CIA, etc., all working to help the Democratic Party bring us down.

[Jay777]

Am I late with this update? Washington Post Under Investigation for CIA Prison leak too.

[mainepatsfan]

Now the Times and the Post will really circle the wagons.

[sissyjane]

>>Turns out the NY Times is not the only paper to have its leakers sources investigated. The Washington Post is reporting their CIA Prison story leaks are being investigated

The Justice Department has also opened a probe into whether classified information was illegally disclosed to The Washington Post, which reported on a network of secret CIA prisons in Eastern Europe and elsewhere<<

[Jay777]

Thank you.

[nascar242005]

wouldn't be a hoot if it was:

ole'Tom Dasachle

who is behind this leak....remember it was over a year ago the NYT knew about it.....maybe the angst over losing his re-election --- he may have threw himeself on the train tracks without realizing it..

18 U.S.C. 793, 794, and 798

Thanks, I'll take a look.

The Slimes and WP are probably in discussions now with the NSA and the WH to get the DOJ to drop the investigation and probably trying to strike a deal like giving them 1 free month of positive coverage along with 1000 AOL CDs with a 50 day free trial.

From AJStrata at The Strata-Sphere:

I am being told in private by someone with sources that there are multiple targets, Flopping Aces is right that the targets are known since the investigation is well along, and the Robertson resignation is linked. Now if all of this comes true I will be a very happy person!

[MEG33]

I want to see the leaker frog marched!

[RightWhale]

Whoever leaked isn't with the press.

[HardStarboard]

>>>I wanna see some democRATs frogmarched out of Congress. (just a hunch regarding the source.) <<<

Just a simple video of Senator Jay Rockerfeller (D-WVa) being escorted out of his offices by US Marshalls to be brought in for questioning would be a fine start.

The ensuing scramble of congresscritters and leftist members of the press would be instructive!

[Philistone]

I believe it comes from the French military style of walking backwards with their hands in the air...

[Blueflag]

oh no!!!! you are post # 666 !!! must be the mark of the beast. you are evil?






Just rabble-rousing ;-)

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

According to the Fox News column, Rockie said this;
"Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and one of the members briefed by the administration about the surveillance plan, expressed deep reservations about the program to the vice president in 2003. But he said he also would like hearings into whom leaked the story to reporters at the Times."
The last sentence is a pretty dumb thing to say if he's the leaker! Maybe he's just tryin' to take the heat off and cover his butt, but better to not have said anything.

[Christian4Bush]

LOL (I'm also a Christian for Bush ; )

Cool. "Christian" is also my given name.

Sometimes, when I lose my cool here at FR (with some, shall we say, "colorful metaphors"), some glass house dwellers will say "I thought you were a Christian" (right before leaving me a cryptic curse (i.e. "YAAFM") themselves. I explain to them that the "Christian" in my screnname is my "name".

I don't throw bones to the religious bashers on this thread. I know who I am, and whose I am, and that's good enough for me.

[baystaterebel]

A blogger made a good point.........

Remember the original New York Times article:

“Nearly a dozen current and former officials, who were granted anonymity because of the classified nature of the program, discussed it with reporters for The New York Times because of their concerns about the operation’s legality and oversight.”

Tom Dasachle fits into one of these categories.

In think this story is far bigger then most realize.

Those DNC e-mails that some young Republican fell on his sword for all of a sudden take on a whole new significance. If they are connected the walls will run read at the DNC and New York Times.

[Kewlhand`tek]

You're right. No matter how some folks here kid themselves and hold out hope that the new media is presently winning the media war, we are not yet, not nearly. ***

yeah well the temperture has been rising slowly on the frog in the pot of water for 40 years should be around 200 degress, frogs about done now.

[baystaterebel]

"Robertson resignation is linked"

I was the first one to call it here at Freeperville.
