Leaks within the CIA are treason. Those found guilty of leaking should be charged as such.

It's about time the CIA got serious about this. Time to clean house.

Leaks within the CIA are treason. Those found guilty of leaking should be charged as such.

And not only charged as such ...

The reported added that a new clampdown on leakers had been launched, supported by a team of "mostly retired" agents contracted to scan the news media for possible leaks of classified material and to try to find the leakers responsible.

Sounds like the administration needs to place a "mole" inside the CIA.

[McGavin999]

I agree totally. They need to be either sent to one of those "secret prisons" or have an "accident". It IS treason and ought to be treated as such. I'd say take them to court, but there is no court in the land where these things can be discussed without further "leaks".

I guess they'll be going after Val Flame since she confessed her job to her boyfriend during post coital spooning?
Maybe they'll arrest Joe Wilson for divulging his mission?

Citing an anonymous former senior Central Intelligence Agency official

Do I understand this correctly? This story about a clampdown in leaks is, itself, based on a leak?

[Publius6961]

I notice that even this article has no -- zer, sip -- mention of the certain consequences for violating the secrecy oath.

Take a few of them out, tie them to a rostrum, and shoot them. That should provide an attitude adjustment for these Lefties.

I have a real problem with "former" CIA employees who write a "book" revealing national secrets as soon as they are no longer employed by the CIA. To me, it appears as though they are selling out their country for a quick buck and fifteen minutes of fame. I also have to challenge their faithfulness and loyalty to the United States of America. I'm not buying the DemocRATS' "whistleblower" crap.

When I hear that people are fired or charged for media leaks then and only then will I think anything productive is happening.

...they've asked Joe Wilson to look for them?

[festus]

Far as I'm concerned they start leaking secrets the should wind up with their photo on a milk carton.

"......last month's disclosure in The New York Times that US President George W Bush authorised the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on the telephone calls of some Americans without court warrants."

Why do the Dim Wing Nuts squeal so much about Bush recording the phone calls of Americans? Simple, Bush is listening to telephone conversations of Clinton-appointed Civil Servqants who are leaking items to the press to try and prevent Presidential policies from being implimented. For some reason the Dims hate that! Most of America loves it!

Treason and sedition

When you agree to accept a TS or higher clearance, you give up many rights and agree to be tried in Secret if deemed appropriate..

I would love to see them frog marched past the NYT office but I doubt we will know most if any results of these investigations.

The employees of the Agency however will know exactly what happened.

GOOD

Look, the reality is that Goss has been cleaning out the CIA and targeting leakers. So has Condi at State. Rummy at DOD. Rummy is HATED over there because he's been so effective at doing so. Notice most of our leakers are coming from CIA and State lately and consider Goss/Condi have only been in control about a year. Rummy's had five years to make some headway. If Condi/Goss weren't having some effect we wouldn't be seeing so many leaks aimed at sabotaging their efforts. The problem is that we have a number of snakes and it takes awhile to cut off all their heads.

Still, I'm glad to here they are going to tighten down even further in pursuit and hopefully punishment. Without which it would be meaningless.

[Txsleuth]

It is LEAKED to Time that Porter Goss is cracking down on leakers???

Sounds like it isn't working very well.
