Rockey might have left his intel vault open on purpose. Then again could be a groomed Wilson type. All these that had the intel need to be given lie detector tests in public.

Talk about the potential for a real "reality" tv program.

Lie detector tests are generally worthless in most cases. They can be beaten by the simple expedient of coming into the session hyped up on caffeine or some such stimulant. It's basically impossible to pick up the subtle variations that are used by the "reader" to detect lies. The same is true of voice stress analyzers. If everything you say sounds stressed then nothing shows up as a lie.

However, all calls in Washington D.C. are routinely traced (not recorded) so a thorough search of the phone records for any suspects should prove instructive. Most people who do this kind of thing really aren't that smart about it. You usually can't use that kind of evidence (e.g. Joe Wilson placed a phone call to Pinch Sulzburger 15 minutes after being briefed about the top secret that got leaked), but you can use it to get wiretap warrants and other surveillance tools put in place.

Lets see how serious they really are about this. So far the Bush administration has shown a marked reluctance to pursue any of these things. In keeping with the Clinton's MO I believe that they have threatened to reveal something "incriminating" about either Bush 41 or Ronald Reagan if Bush 43 goes after them. Maybe W has decided that his Dad's reputation or Ronald Reagan's memory can survive, maybe even thrive, on release of whatever "scandalous news" the Clinton's are holding. Maybe a secret program to defeat the Soviets, even if it wasn't Congressionally authorized? Gee, a President who actually wants to help America and hurt her enemies? Similar revelations about W have sure hurt his standing - NOT!

What a money maker that would be...run ads, PPV...anything to apply to national debt!

Freepers alone would probably be a huge enough audience with reasonable "discretionary income" to support the admen.
