What in hell did they think they were going to get out of this? Do they WANT to tangle with the left-wing press????
No, they are feeding their allies in the left wing press. The CIA is still full of carterites and clintonoids, and the new director appears to have given up on it. Or maybe Bush likes it this way, who knows? He has done nothing to punish the leakers of sensitive information in a time of war.
