It was the second to last paragragh in this article that got to me.

The focus of the NSA leak investigation focuses on Rockefeller and Durbin?????

Very interesting- even though all of us believe some Senators were involved, this is the first article that I have seen confirming that some Senators may be the source if the NSA leaks.

this is the first article that I have seen confirming that some Senators may be the source if the NSA leaks.

The original Dec. 16th NYT story expressly stated that the source was several current and current NSA employees. Which doesn't exclude the possibilty that Durbin or Rockefeller sent the NYT in the direction of those NSA sources, or some other variation on that same theme.

Espionage trials.

I know ya'll have ping lists.

I need to put one together...

[geezerwheezer]

It would be wonderful to see two of my least favorite demorats get indicted for leaking NSA operations to the New York Slimes and WaPo. Rocky and Turbin Durbin should have a lot of fun defending themselves on this security breach, and it will be a real eye-opener to the American public as to how these scumbags really operate. Go get 'em!!

The NSA leak investigation is said to be moving rapidly, and to focus on two Democratic senators, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and Dick Durbin of Illinois.

Rapidly? As in coming to fruition before the election season is in full swing, perhaps? :-) Tell me that wouldn't counter some of the GOP's Abramoff blues.

I had heard Rockefeller's name mentioned several times before, but this is the first time I've seen Dick "U.S. Troops are Nazis" Durbin tied to this investigation. Ahhhh, sweet irony.

These Senators are not above the law

If they are guilty .. then throw the book at them

[AIC]

There are three Senators that are being looked at by the CIA. They are Laye (sp), Rockefeller, and Durbin. These guys are on the same committee together where secret reports come to and reported. The leaks have been traced to this committee and the CIA and the FBI want all of the committee members to take lie detector test to see if any fail the test.

[Chi-Town Lady]

Dickie Durban is my senator. I hope they nail his ass to the wall!

[KC Burke]

The democrat wagon masters will circle the wagons and hunker down claiming attack by bloodthirsty savages...

[Lancey Howard]

Keller is soiling himself.

[7mmMag@LeftCoast]

Wow! Jack Kelly and RealClearPolitics are unabashed centrist democrats. (meaning only a little less liberal than Hillary). To see this coming from Jack Kelley means that the $h!t is about the to hit the fan and lots of democrats are standing in front of the exhaust.

[TBP]

Well, Democrats breaking the law and endangering national security and our troops. Who'da thunk it?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I absolutely, positively guarantee you that Jay Rockefeller has been at least one source (if not THE primary source) of NSA-related links.

I'll lay coin on it.

Rockefeller’s Treachery
The Fifth Column/Joan Swirsky
November 29, 2005 - "I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq — that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11."

So spoke Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) on “Fox Sunday” on November 14, 2005, who at the time of his trip was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and is now its vice chairman.

Please read the first paragraph once again, digest it (if your stomach can handle it), and consider its immense – if not treasonous – implications.

By himself and fully armed with America’s most sensitive intelligence, Sen. Rockefeller decided to go to three Arab countries – including Syria which is on the State Department’s list of terrorist regimes and a close ally of Saddam Hussein – and literally alert them to what (“in my view”) might befall a neighboring Arab state.
