It's not a college prank to leak classified information concerning a serious issue. Yet the United States secret detail is reported on the front page of the New York Times while the secret detail of al-Qaeda remains in the private entries of the Islamic killers international.
Once they find the individual who leaked classified information regarding the President authorizing secret government wiretap networks, he should be sent to court, then to jail.
The New York Times, having reported the data, must disclose the leaker.
US President George W. Bush has called the leak a "shameful act." It is that and more.
All Americans' security has been breached because of that leaker. Further, whoever gave out the secret information has crossed the lines of propriety regarding the Chief Executive.
The Justice Department should receive all the assistance it needs in order to bring the matter to light. The President acted within his constitutional powers. The leaker acted within his indiscretion.
Now the National Security Agency (NSA) has requested the investigation by the Justice Department. May no obstacle get in the way of a thorough investigation. Yet liberal obstacles will loom largely, slowing down America's safety program and opening windows and doors to Islamic fanatics on the kill.
The President set in motion the NSA monitoring telephones and Internet networking for the security of the United States.
As one government official put it, the monitoring was not intended to check on teen conversations on cellphones. It was geared to protect the American republic.
Mr. Bush and aides restricted their eavesdropping to al-Qaeda ties. America is at war, according to the President. Therefore, such measures must be operative. In other words, it is not "nation as usual." It is "nation under attack."
Sleeper cells pepper the country. Four thousand Muslim web sites teach hate and murder. There are clerics in mosques who instruct their devotees on how to sabotage America.
One American woman, not a Muslim, attended a mosque where a public meeting was advertised. The subject was learning more about Islam.
She arrived an hour early. She was instructed by the cleric to take a seat in the back of the mosque, making herself comfortable. However, what he did not know was that she understood Arabic.
She then sat, listening to the cleric instruct the Muslim males gathered for a secret meeting in how to sabotage America.
She remained for the next hour's public meeting, not letting on of course what she had learned during the pre-public session as the cleric instructed his own in how to undo the republic.
Yet there are those so-called human rights groups and liberal politicians as well as liberal media who protest Mr. Bush's safeguards to protect the country. This is exceptionally foolhardy in that such liberal voices are plotting their own demise by the Islamic killers international who plan on Islam world rule. The latter plan on killing all non-Muslims or making them slaves of Muslims.
What the liberals cannot seem to understand that we are in fact in a "war on terror." It is not a romp in the sun. We are fighting a fanatic cultic global plan to kill and maim in the name of the Koran's Allah. These adherents are willing to sacrifice their own lives and the lives of fellow Muslims to see through their bloody goals.
Of course one would expect the American Civil Liberties Union to attack the President by calling for special counsel to investigate the President.
What has the ACLU done to investigate the Islamic enemy working feverishly to topple our democracy? As the ACLU criticized the Justice Department this week, what did the ACLU do to criticize the Muslim murderers global?
By the liberal quotients warring against the President and patriots of America, they themselves have become a legion to the enemy. They have joined the war on the other side. They have become members of the coalition out to disband our liberties.
Reuters reports that the surveillance program was limited in focus and key congressional leadership was informed of the procedure.
Logic would conclude that Mr. Bush should monitor international telephone networks and electronic mail of those suspected to have alliances with al-Qaeda.
Media reported at the close of this week that Mr. Bush was "angry" because of the leak. Not only was Mr. Bush angry but every American prizing his and her safety was angry.
The only ones not patriotically angry are the liberal politicians, media and Muslim murderers global.
There is no patriotic reason why America's energies now should be sidelined in an investigation of the President and the NSA. Once again, the enemy rejoices at the loss of energy redirected.
Yes, media reports that the government was also monitoring homes and work sites as well as mosques of Muslims in six major American cities. Why not? Increase the number of cities. Increase the monitoring.
The Chief Executive has stated forthrightly, and correctly, that the monitoring is within the Constitution's war powers provision as well as a resolution by Congress after the September 11, 2001, attacks on America.
And the Republican Congress should be out there beating this drum day and night.
Hey Republicans: Don't depend on Spector to push this through. Americans are highly pissed - now use that like you have spines or we'll find some Republicans who will.
One massive, dirty-bomb set-off at a critical link in our power-grid could make New England about as productive as the Gaza Strip.
Ckucky Skruumer has already used the word "whistleblower" about 20 times in the last 3 days...
"he should be sent to court, then to jail."
No he or she should be stood up against the nearest concrete wall and machine gunned to death.
How is the New Yuck Times not responsible for printing classified information? Isn't there some legal recourse that can be taken against it?
The phrase "Loose Lips Sink Ships" should be brought back.
It seems that the dimwitcrats and their accomplices in the lame stream press are willing to sink the boat to bring down the captain.
I dont look for the New York Times to out anyone.
I dont look for this leaker to be found.
I do look for this to happen again.
Its coming from the Hill.
We can look at our Liberal politicians, hear their rhetoric and tell which side they are on.
Its not ours.
This was posted back on December 23, 2003. Some interesting names pop up, one is Christopher Mellon who now works on the Advisory Board of Viseon, a communications company. Another name that seems at the very heart of the leak is of course, Jay Rockefeller. Was this then the start of the leaks that threaten America's security?
Is this any worse than Eagleberger walking down the hallways of Congress with terrorism-related secret documents shoved down his pants?
You mean Burg(l)er, Clinton's National Security Advisor. Eagleburger did NOT steal classified documents from the National Archives -- Sandy (pants) Burger did that.
-No he or she should be stood up against the nearest concrete wall and machine gunned to death.-
I think we should use a bow and arrow for this one.
Nah, I prefer to set them in the path of African Army Ants.
Absolutely. Grab these clowns by their throats and lay down the law: give up these treasonous felons or YOU do their time. End of Conversation.
Its not enough to declare anyone or oneself a whistleblower..! There is a process to go through in order to be declared a whistle blower and its through the US Office of the Inspector General. Whistleblower disclosures are never sanctioned to outside agents, including and especially the Press. Chucky should know better..!
You must be talking about the treasonous revelations by Robert Novak, Lewis "Scooter" Libby and others in the Bush Administration, disclosing that Valerie Plame was an undercover CIA agent. The treasonous Bush Administration leakers are not covered by any whistleblower statute.
T R E A S O N.....pure and simple.....
