And if the President were really serious about desiring consequences for leaking, he'd have insisted on providing it. After all, who is ultimately in charge of all the "victim agencies"?

Right, Amelia................. who knows if Bush ties his own hands or if they are tied for him by others.

I don't pretend to know myself.

I just know this country is on it's way out as it is going now.

Back in the 70s and 80s I read the conspiracy theory books like "Say No to the New World Order", None Dare Call it Treason", "None Dare Call it Conspiracy", etc. my uncle was a John Bircher. The basic theme to those books and the theories about the Bildenburger/CFR/Skull and Bones/etc. conspiracy theories is that an outside entity ie the worlds money people are the ones actually running the country/world and the US president and congress simply tow their line.

They were and are basically right.

What to do?

Give me a break this is typical Democrat playbook stuff... Liberals are in all agencies some still loyal to the Clintons... Just look what happened when Sandy Berger commited what should be classified as the Crime of the 21st Century. We will never know what he destroyed and how that impacted our ability to protect against 911. If the Rats can't rewrite history politically they break the law to do it.... America is just not wise to it yet.

It's called Obstruction, plain and simple. File charges against a couple and the card house falls down.

Apparently the FBI doesn't want to find who is guilty.

I don't know either, but your comment reminds me of the story at the very beginning of the 2000 primaries that he didn't really want to run for president, but was talked into it by others...

I just know this country is on it's way out as it is going now.

I don't feel very optimistic either.

Wonder if the problem is the FBI's history of two way cooperation (or lack thereof). As NYPD said, there are a large number of strrets named after the FBI in NYC- "one Way".

"..Last month, the FBI told Judge Chesney that 22 of 94 files believed to relate to recent press leaks were missing with no indication of who had removed them..."

That is a big disgrace. The CIA needs a housecleaning.

Hastert stymied trying to investigate William Jefferson files comes to mind.

"that 22 of 94 files believed to relate to recent press leaks were missing with no indication of who had removed them..."

If these files were classified secret or higher, then someone had to sign for them. And, there had to have been a custodian if they were Top Secret.

Some things may have changed over the years, but someone knows what happened and it is the job of the DoJ to enforce criminal penalities as proscribed by law.

I know if I had misplaced something, I would have been in Levenworth. That bodes on one's mind not to lose anything.

Maybe things have gotten worse at the CIA or possibly you are
more conscientious than most.

Maybe rules are obeyed at the NSA more than the CIA. It does seem like the CIA gets mutinous when they don't like an Administration.

Move the CIA to West Plains MO and see the retirements begin. My guess is DIA gets us better intel.

You are correct. Langley is a glorified country club for East Coast elitists. We have better Intel analysts elsewhere, but not enough sources anywhere. Field recruiting and development were severely curtailed under Clinton and from what I have read, never really recovered.

The issue is not about leaks, but selective enforcement of the law. If I refused to provide documents and cooperate with the FBI if they showed up with a legitimate investigation, what will happen to me? Every mistake I made would be used against me. Just look at what happen to the colonel in Able Danger leak. He had his security clearance revoked because they found documents that he may have taken government office supplies (i.e ball point pens) home for private use, while Sandy Berger stuffs archive documents into his socks and underwear and gets a slap on the wrist.
