Of course the leaker should go to jail but that's another story.
I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!
It's NOT that I don't believe the story - it's the "leak".
What the H*ll is going on with the Federal Government?
It USED TO BE that revealing classified information resulted in being prosecuted/convicted/and locked up!
Can anyone say "treason"? Can anyone in government understand the phrase "giving aid and comfort to the enemy"!
It's high-time the government get tough, EXTREMELY TOUGH on what the liberals and MSM call "leaks".
"Cheney said the White House would circumvent any legislative restrictions 'and thus stop Congress from getting in its way,' he said"
This is exactly what it will take; the resolve of men and women like Vice President Cheney!

The key point that Hersh is missing is that we cannot allow Iran to develop the capability to build nuclear weapons even if we're not sure about their intent to actually build and use bombs. If Iran gains that capability then it becomes extremely risky to take action to stop them from building or using nuclear weapons because we would not be sure that they don't already have them. So capability is the key red line that we can't allow them to cross. Hersh needs to step away from his computer and take a long weekend just to think about this issue and the very real potential for a nuclear-armed Iran to launch a catastrophic attack on Israel, Europe, or America. I'm puzzled by the kind of simplistic, emotional thought processes going on inside Hersh's mind.
