Bush could stop this in a second if he wanted. Issue an EO that determines that leaking top secret intel is and act of treason, try the leaker accordingly, and if found guilty sentence them under the present statuates that cover treasonous acts-death by firing squad. The bastards would either quit or stop leaking. Either way the leaks end.
Agree.
I hated Carter with a passion that exists to this day, but I did not "leak" classified information in a futile attempt to destroy him politically.
We voted his worthless hide out of office!
By a landslide.
The MSM does not have "special" rights, above those granted to every citizen.Nor to political parties.
They do not have the expectation of private communications protection granted to spouses, physicians, lawyers and spiritual leaders.
Charge them with treason and be done with it.
Throw them into a cell next to Pollard and let them bleat endlessly about the unfairness of the rule of law.
Either do it now, or accept that anarchy now reins supreme.
And if it is anarchy, well, I am prepared to deal with that.
But I will not be constrained by any useless "rules of law" while doing so.
