You would be behind bars.
I think the CIA needs cleaned out and started over from scratch. No one hired unless they pass a lie detector test and extensive background search. That place has become RAT infested!
Only one guy can get the ball rolling on that.
I believe our intelligence agencies are managed by career bureaucrats for whom the job and perquisites are primary, and the mission secondary. Many of these bureaucrats appear to be liberal Democrats who detest the Bush Administration and its policies and have no interest in promoting them. One suspects that they spend their days in meetings, or by creating purposefully obfuscatory documents of appalling complexity and little functional use other than to provide evidence of work product. They leak to the media because their jobs are never truly threatened. They can wait out any Administration, because it will one day be gone. They, on the other hand, will be there forever.
So, I can go and commit a crime, blow the police off, refuse to cooperate and then the case will be closed? /sarc

Good question....I wondered the same thing.
Recently read that the spy agency's are having a difficult time filling employment slots with confident personal.
Sounds like a crock of bull to me. There would be plenty of special forces personal who would easily fill the slots.
There is a freeper that co-authored a book called Shadow Government, I believe.
I haven't read it...but I think that is the jist of the book...that Pres. Bush has a whole "shadow" government out to destroy him...and I guess us.
I think you should be able to figure that one out. The victim agency - or agencies - are probably the CIA, State Department, Congress, Defense Department and probably the Justice Department itself.
The leaks, Berger's absolution, and the whole "I'm not firing Rumsfeld" thing, I am going out on a limb and saying that I am not going to be voting for George W. Bush for President in 2008.
Sound like Castro and Cuba.
I think if you have enough money and influence, that is possible. Take a look at the Ramsey case in Colorado.
We'll never be taken seriously by the rest of the world, much less our own citizens, if we cannot police ourselves. This is the disgusting results of big government.
Oh, I get it......I just didn't read it the right way...gosh, I'm not on the ball today!
Thanks!
Assuming he's serious about finding the leakers, the President should have the necessary authority to order the cases reopened, and issue an order that anyone who fails to cooperate with the probes is to be immediately removed from duty or, if possible, fired.
This should lead to outrage on the part of all concern. The President should force the agencies in question to cooperate, or start firing people.
This is fair, but would a leak investigation by the FBI be any more damaging than the information already leaked?
There are two cabals, Democrats and Republicans.
Actually, it's a lot like the KGB under Gorbachev. Who cares what's happening in the Baltics, as long as I get my Starka vodka and my vacation at the Black Sea?
