WASHINGTON -- House Intelligence Chairman Peter Hoekstra has suspended a Democratic staff member because of concerns he may have leaked a high-level intelligence assessment to The New York Times last month.

In a letter obtained by The Associated Press Thursday night, Rep. Ray LaHood, R-Ill., a committee member, said that an unidentified staffer requested the document from National Intelligence Director John Negroponte three days before the Sept. 23 story about its conclusions

So what is the staffer's name? I have heard the names of all these staffers in the Foley prefabbed scandal and never ever are liberal staffers named.

Wonder which congressional office he will transfer to and obtain the same ability to write for and receive other classified intel?

Meanwhile the FBI is going to interview every stinking page that has gone through the page program for the past 13 years.

Yes, for possibly leaking the NIE information that set off a media frenzy. Perhaps he will also be tied back to other leaks....fire the ranking member for not holding his staff to account. Hmmm, wouldn't that be Jane Harman?

you are correct, its very frustrating. I just don't understand what is going on, how the permanent beauracracy at these agencies can have so much power, that the oversight of the politically appointed managers has been totally neutralized.

That is interesting. I think they reported Reid's news on Thursday also. The weekend dump.

"An aide to California Rep. Jane Harman (news, bio, voting record), the committee's top Democrat, did not have an immediate comment Thursday night."

This was a quote from the article. Does this mean it was someone in bigmouth Harmans office???? She's been calling for all kinds of investigations, maybe she needs to clean up her own house!!!!!!!

I know in a lawyer's office if the chain of the file isn't followed exactly it can affect the case, so why isn't the top secrets of this country protected in the same way??
