That is right. It is awesome to watch these fools keep taking the bait.

It wll be time to pay the toll keeper soon. Can't wait. Round up the rogues, msm reporters and editors, donk senators, congressmen and their aides and lets have some trials by juries or witness plea bargins. Let them appeal their convictions to SCOTUS and get slapped down.

Pay back time.

Don't know if you're right or not but the proximity on the timeline looks about right:

On the eight of the month of November :

NOVEMBER 8, 2005 : (FRIST & HASTERT CIRCULATE LETTER CALLING FOR A CONGRESSIONAL LEAK INVESTIGATION INTO THE DISCLOSURE OF ALLEGED US SECRET PRISONS ABROAD: See MARY MCCARTHY, SECRETPRISONSLEAK, BLEEDINGHEARTATTACK, RENDITIONS) WASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and House Speaker Dennis Hastert are circulating a draft letter calling for a congressional leak investigation into the disclosure of secret U.S. interrogation centers abroad. The Washington Post reported Nov. 2 on the existence of secret U.S. prisons in Eastern Europe for terrorism suspects. The Bush administration has neither confirmed nor denied that report. "If accurate, such an egregious disclosure could have long-term and far-reaching damaging and dangerous consequences, and will imperil our efforts to protect the American people and our homeland from terrorist attacks," stated the draft.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the draft request to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts of Kansas and his House counterpart, Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra of Michigan. Hoekstra's spokesman, Jamal Ware, declined to comment because the office had not yet received the letter.
Frist and Hastert said the joint probe by the House and Senate intelligence committees should determine who leaked the information and under what authority.
"What is the actual and potential damage done to the national security of the United States and our partners in the global war on terror?" the draft letter asked. "We will consider other changes to this mandate based on your recommendations."
Frist's and Hastert's offices declined immediate comment.
The letter says the leaking of classified information by employees of the U.S. government appears to have increased in recent years, "establishing a dangerous trend that, if not addressed swiftly and firmly, likely will worsen."
"We are hopeful that you will be able to accomplish this task in a bipartisan manner given general agreement that intelligence matters should not be politicized," it added.
The Post story of a week ago said that the CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al-Qaida captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, as part of a covert prison system set up by the agency four years ago that at various times has included sites in eight countries. The eight, said the story, include several democracies in eastern Europe.---------- "Frist,Hastert Consider Prison Leak Probe," ap - Washington ap on Yahoo, 11/08/05

And precisely one month later, on the eight of the month of December :

DECEMBER 8, 2005 : (FOX NEWS' O'REILLY FACTOR : ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT BRIAN ROSS APPEARS TO DISCUSS WOT DETAINEE "BLACK" PRISONS IN EUROPE - See SECRETPRISONSLEAK) ABC News Correspondent Brian Ross appeared on The O’Reilly Factor to discuss the exposure of detainee prisons in Western Europe. Ross is among a handful of reporters who have exposed these black prisons and embarrassed our country. Ross says he does not feel that this hurts the USA’s image around the world, in fact he thinks what he did helped it. ------DOWNLOAD and view video here.
