Lets think about this for a second.
Congress: Pretty much a no brainer. It's about a forgone conclusion that someone in the Congress was talking to the papers about something they shouldn't. Talk about the usual suspects.
Courts: Possible, but somewhat less likely. Judges, especially FISA ones, would be very well versed in how to follow proper Whistleblower laws, and would be very unlikely to risk open criminal activity when there are legal alternatives.
The White House: Although it sounds absurd, I'm sure the Democrats and MSM have noted that President Bush's approval rating is climbing rapidly the more this spy 'scandal' continues. Perhaps an evil genius like .... KARL ROVE ... arranged the leak in order make the Dem's look soft on terrorism, and the President look tough.
If I were Senators Durbin, Rockefeller, Schumer, Kennedy and Kerry, I'd be sweating bullets seriously right now.
....Courts: Possible, but somewhat less likely. Judges, especially FISA ones, would be very well versed in how to follow proper Whistleblower laws, and would be very unlikely to risk open criminal activity when there are legal alternatives.......
I think you need to get a bowl and some sugar handy because these words may have to be eaten.
I was convinced the leaker was in the Rockefeller office until yesterday when on a similar thread a eureka light turned on..... there was a federal judge involved in the process and he resigned..
