Both. They should identify and jail the leakers in the administration, certainly. But they should also jail the publisher, editor, and reporters responsible for publishing these stories and endangering our nation's security and the safety of their fellow citizens.

The fact that Bush has sat back and done NOTHING through this whole string of treasonous acts is disgraceful.

That's the part I just really can't understand. These leaks are more or less ongoing, but no one seems to be making any attempt to find and prosecute the leaker(s).

It would seem that stopping the source of the leaks should be the first priority - and at some point, when they don't seem to be making any attempt to do so, it makes you wonder how worried they are about the leaks except as political talking points.

At least when people leak to newspapers, we know there was a leak. Who else might they be leaking to?

Of course, in the Plame affair a reporter went to jail for a bit, but the source of the "leak" appears to have been Cheney's office. I really hate to use that as an example of anything, however, because it's never been clear to me that Plame's identity as a CIA employee was classified in any way at that point in time.
