cBS spins it PING

[jim-x]

I just hope they AGRESSIVELY pursue the leaker(s) and prosecute them to the full extent of the law!!!
There have been too many "leaks" over the last few years, most of which have been to embarrass the current administration.
These are the same people who would be selling classified information to the russians, et al., but somehow they feel their "treason" is justified because they don't agree with --put reason here--.
Disclosure of classified information is punishable by significant fines and lengthy prison terms.
Treason is Treason, regardless of which party is in power.

Many knew about parts of D Day plans as well, was it then OK for them to leak it?

We are at war people!

I gave up totally on cBS after RatherGate. All the left wing medial moguls will spin this the same way.

[bannedfromdu]

I have to support CBS's position. They have a memo that was widely distributed throughout Washington. Rather just faxed it to them.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

One of the truth challenged cables briefly discussed this momentous ( IMHO ) happening this afternoon. Behind the anchorette they had " Justice Dept Launches NSA Leak Investigation " and underneath that, a picture.
The investigation finally begun today is to identify the leaker / traitor ,but, they inserted a picture of President Bush beneath the logo, which gave the impression that Justice had launched an investigation into him.
Typical shabby standards of the fossilized media.

THE IRONY in all of it? Well, since there could have been dozens who leaked the information, CBS News has seemed to take the position that it is ok that the info was leaked.

If there was one leaker, one leaker should be punished. If it was dozens, than let dozens be punished.

'Could have been dozens' makes no sense. It *could* have been one leaker. Everyone in the program *could* have leaked it. The only relevant issue is who *did*.

[p23185]

I think dozens also knew about PLAME! So what is CBSs point?

[Txsleuth]

Well...I watched Norah O'Donnell on Hardball...so YOU wouldn't have to...

and the way she put it...she was talking to a guest and said, "George Bush is going to be taking a lot of scandals and investigations of scandals into the New Year with him, isn't he?...just like the new one the Justice Dept. announced today about the NSA wiretaps"...

Totally spun it like this was an investigation and "scandal" against Bush...sheesh

[Brilliant]

If dozens knew, then someone leaked. Who was it?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

C-BS

[NordP]

NOTE TO CBS: Dozens know about a lot of things...doesn't make them okay.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

maybe the "leaker(s)" isn't just a partisan leaker.....he/she/them might be an actual enemy spy/mole in our govt who cleverly passes the fruits of his/her spying through the public news media.

It might be that this is not so simple as partisan politics.

[Hoodat]

CBS is still on the air?

[expatpat]

According to a guy on FNC, there were only a few people who knew about it, and that should make finding the leaker easier. So much for the Communist Bull$h1t System.

[Lancey Howard]

Thanks for the heads-up. You're a real trooper for sitting through a network newscast. And CBS - - whew.... God bless you, man. Fortunately, I doubt that 100 viewers believe anything CBS says, and the other half of their audience is too busy washing the dishes to pay much attention.

...Valerie "I never met a camera I didn't strip for" Plame ...

Are there naked pictures of Valerie Plame out there?

[Logical me]

Here is the way I see it. President Bush and the Republican party is in serious trouble. The MSM and the RATS will pellet the airways and print with garbage before the JD will ever really get started. The JD must subpoena immediately and get the investigation in high gear. They must indite within a few weeks or they will fail. It has always been that the winner strikes first and hard. This is something the Republican Party and our President just doesn't understand. Old news, no matter how good it would be, will just not be as effective and the ball game will be over.

[Malesherbes]

Here's one explanation (IMHO): The New York Times hyped Wilson and Plame, got an investigation going, got a reporter (Judy Miller) in jail, had the thing backfire (Miller fired), and began to hear calls to get rid of the accident-prone Pinch Salzberger. To cover up this scandal, Salzberger and Keller decided to start another one - and this one will come back and bite them too.
