JULY 23, 2005 : (AT CIA REQUEST, DOJ LAUNCHES CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGED LEAKS BY DEMOCRAT SENATORS DICK DURBIN, JAY ROCKEFELLER AND RON WYDEN) The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into whether Democratic Senators Dick Durbin, Jay Rockefeller and Ron Wyden leaked details about a secret "black ops" CIA satellite program last December in a move that may have seriously compromised national security, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Jed Babbin said on Saturday. "The CIA made a request to the Justice Department to investigate and possibly bring criminal charges against these three [senators]," Babbin told WABC Radio host Monica Crowley. "My information is that investigation is ongoing." ---------- "Report: Justice Department Probing Durbin, Rockefeller CIA Leak," NewsMax.com, Saturday, July 23, 2005 1:11 p.m. EDT, http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/7/23/131312.shtml
