Speaking of leaks, just a few months ago, the NYT gleefully blew the cover off of an entire CIA operation to transport captured terrorists to various places for interrogation. There was no media outcry, no demand for an investigation, no complaints that national security was compromised, no concerns that agents in the field were compromised, nothing.
The MSM doesn't want to shut down leads. That's their bread and butter. They just want to hurt GWB by going through one of the President's closest aides.
