WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Angered at leaks from classified briefings, President Bush ordered key department heads last week to restrict their briefings of members of Congress to the four major leaders and the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, sources told CNN on Monday.

That's the way I'd do it.

"WHO TALKED"

I think the blabber mouth should be exposed so the world knows (and the voters) who is willing to indanger American lives.

Wanna bet it'll be a democRAT who's got diarrhea of the mouth

LOL

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. ;)

Can we trust Nacy Pelosi? (No.)

Definitely NO. Read her response. She should be dismissed from the briefings.

What was leaked?

Just heard on Fox that something was provided to a newspaper that was mentioned in the classified briefing with congress. The newspaper did not print it and advised the White House. They said it would have been really risky if it had been printed.

Can't believe one of our papers was that honorable - wish I knew which one. I'm sure they also advised where they got the information so possibly the White House does know.

I'd say Daischle and Gebhart despite their remarks agreeing with President Bush.

How hard would it be to ID the perp if the newspaper is known to the Pres, FBI, CIA?

Oh yea, they call it verbal diarrhea.

I'd hate to be the one called on the carpet to stand at attention in front of the President and explain myself!

Giving out classified information for dissemination is the same as giving it to the enemy. This is called TREASON.

"The president told me about it, and I agree," Daschle said. "It's unfortunate, but there's no choice. Some people just can't resist talking."

At a time like this, anyone responsible for leaks should be brought up on charges and convicted of TREASON against the nation.

If nothing else, we should find out who they are and Kick Their @$$#$ real good!!

Thanks Howlin! I realized AFTER I posted it that it was a 1998 list of loud-mouths.

Where do I start?! I would just as soon Pres. Bush kept it all to a small cirle of FRIENDS! If by any means if Hillary knows anything she will be the FIRST to talk. She doesn't think the military is a very important part of this war on terrorism. All we really need to do is TALK to them instead of bomb them unless, of course, "her husband" is going to testify in a sex harassment case. Then it's BOMB'S AWAY!

When they ID the perp, it will be time for a news conference to tell the American people just who would put American troops in harms way. Then make the party heads deal with them accordingly. Would be very telling.

Alcee L. Hastings, FL

That's great, Congressman Hastings was impeached and convicted as a federal judge for taking bribes. He gets elected to the House and serves on the Intelligence Committee.

Check out the REVISED list by Howlin post #49.

Although, it's not any better.

Norman Sisisky, VA

norm is the only one on the list i'm absolutely, positively sure isn't leaking

but, that's only because he's dead
