WP site seems to be down.

Same article also at MSNBC, and that link works -- the site is up, at least right now.

Saw that! Thank you, very much! This leak thing has me crazy.
On 12/22 I emailed 5 senators and the DOJ expressing my outrage about leaks. I figured out with Ron Wyden's response what is wrong with DC.
No matter what YOU say to THEM, their response is the party line. I said, I wanted leaks investigated and leaker(s) prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
First sentence of his letter to me. . ."Thank you for contacting me regarding the recent revelations that President Bush authorized various government agencies to spy on American citizens."I threw the letter across the room. It was a horrible response. It has been 3 weeks and I'm still trying to figure out where to go from here. . .

From the article:


Era of ‘Russian roulette’
But David B. Rivkin Jr., a partner at Baker & Hostetler in Washington and a senior lawyer in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, said the leaking is "out of control," especially given the unique threat posed by terrorist groups.

"We're at the end of this paradigm where we had this sort of gentlemen's agreement where you had leaks and journalists were allowed to protect the leakers," Rivkin said. "Everyone is playing Russian roulette now."

At Langley, the CIA's security office has been conducting numerous interviews and polygraph examinations of employees in an effort to discover whether any of them have had unauthorized contact with journalists. CIA Director Porter J. Goss has spoken about the issue at an "all hands" meeting of employees, and sent a recent cable to the field aimed at discouraging media contacts and reminding employees of the penalties for disclosing classified information, according to intelligence sources and people in touch with agency officials.

"It is my aim, and it is my hope, that we will witness a grand jury investigation with reporters present being asked to reveal who is leaking this information," Goss told a Senate committee.
