It may have been the point of the exercize to expose these people, and would therefore be the reason Goss is gone. In the Tom Clancy "Jack Ryan" books (which I'm re-reading now) they call something like this a "canary trap." Leak something specific to a bunch of people, but make each version a little different. Whichever version turns up via a leak tells you who the leaker is.
Notice that Hoekstra would not go any further with any negative information when pressed. This particular leak breaking this week may have been a warning shot across his bow, for whatever reason. What troubles me is that he's one of the folks who helped get the Iraq papers released so that folks like jveritas could work their magic, and he worked with Santorum on declassifying the info about the WMDs found since 2003. Who is working for us and who is working against us is a very complicated question.
This isn't tiddly winks, folks. There are layers within layers and forces and facts that we have to admit that we just don't have.
