if sources and methods are going to end up being revealed, especially those which we are still using, then I don't have a problem with this mainly because we MIGHT get those people killed or those methods may not be as effective.....

I agree, securing our methods and our spooks are more important than scoring political points. There might actually be adults in charge and doing the right thing here

Exactly. I'm a bit surprised that more aren't recognizing this. It seem rather simplistic to view this as a historical/isolated event without ongoing risks to either people or methods. I would hope someone is considering those security questions. I am not entirely sold that this is what's going on but for the moment I'll give Rumsfeld and Bush the benefit of the doubt.

You have a point...but it makes me really mad when they have those idiot 9/11 Commission people on and the practically call Weldon and Lt. Col. Schaeffer liars...

I really think THEY are in a CYA mode...

How can naming the Pentagon lawyers who ordered this info not to be shared be considered National Security? How can the staffer responsible for the 9/11 Commission not hearing about this be considered national security. I am not as concerned about the operations as who did not do their job and why they have not been held accountable, lost their job and pension.
