I still can't find out what was leaked. Was it leaked and not reported is that why?

everyone is up in arms about a leak that, as far as I can tell, nobody knows what the heck was leaked.

Any info would be helpfull.

I was not made aware of WHAT exactly was leaked. Just who leaked it out.

What I heard was someone high up in the Bush Admin. was able to talk the WASHCOMPOST out of writing about the some real senstive stuff.....what we saw in last Friday's Post was after W's team.....stopped the more damaging stuff..

as I said yesterday feinstein came on tv and said something about info being inadvertently leaked, the video showed her repeatedly putting her hand over her mouth and IMO looking guilty...how can you "inadvertantly release clasified material? wish I had a copy of her remarks.. regards.....

It must have been a real doozy because the White House asked the Washington Post not to print it when their reporter called about it. The Post reporter, at least, had a conscience.

Apparently some was leaked and published by the Washington Post - for instance the fact that there was a 100% probablity of another terriorist incident in the U.S..

Apparently some was leaked and NOT published by the Washington Post. The Post called the White House, either to get confirmation or to warn the White House. The White House prevailed on the Post to NOT publish.

[what's up]

The first leak I believe was a few weeks ago when Hatch let the cat out of the bag that Bin Laden's cell phone had been intercepted. That alerted Bin Laden to the fact that he should not use that line any longer.

The second leak was a couple of days ago when CIA officials briefed the Senate Intelligence committee that there was a 100% chance of retaliation in the US for bombing afganistan. According to the poster above, that may have been Feinstein.

For which we can thank the WashPost's Bob Woodward and his colleagues.

They asked the WH if there was a problem printing the leakage, were told there was and spiked the story.

Give credit where it is due: The Washington Post behaved better than the leakers.

IIRC it was a confidential briefing, from which some of the skinny was offered to Bob Woodward at the Post - whereupon he checked with the WH, and didn't publish it. AFAIK the only thing to "surface" from the briefing was the "retaliation is 100% certain after we bomb the Afghans" thing. That's knd of a "DOH!" thing...
