Carl Cameron was talking about this today. Apparently a lot of media had the information, but they were asked not to reveal the phrases because the use of those phrases would let the perps know when and where they were heard.

Of course, immediately CNN broadcast them verbatim.

I hope CNN is prosecuted as well.

Why would they do that? If they had been asked not to, why did they?

O I see! The press had this CLASSIFIED information and were asked not to go to press, yeah? Three questions arise. 1. Wno in the press has a clearence to have this information anyway? 2. This leak was known to authorities and no action was taken before today and it is fine for the press to have it as long as they do not go to press with it, forget bar talk? and 3. Since when is the press accountable to the government?

Like I said this is politics at its finest! I wonder if this was actually leaked by the committee in the first place?
