Justice Dept. Finally Investigating The Leak
Take a look at the below screenshot of the yahoo page. The headlines on the right hand side say &#8220;Justice Dept. Opens Domestic Spying Probe&#8221; as if they are going to investigate Bush. Of course when you click the story the real title is &#38;#82…

NSA Requests Investigation into Leaks
There have been several investigations on the Hill in the past couple of decades. Some have the appearance of political vendetas, but this one is justified. Someone somewhere is giving away or selling classified information to people they should not.

Interesting NYTimes article written by James Risen in the 2002 pre-”precious sacred civil liberties of the enemy” era.

Risen, James, and David Johnston. “Agency Is Under Scrutiny for Overlooked Messages.” New York Times, 20 Jun. 2002. [http://www.nytimes.com]

According to U.S. intelligence officials on 19 June 2002, NSA “intercepted two cryptic communications [from Afghanistan] on the the day before the Sept. 11 attacks that referred to a major event scheduled for the next day.” NSA analysts “did not process, translate and review the intercepted Arabic communications until the day after the attacks.”

So back before the Times joined the hysterical Left in the all-consuming crusade to defeat the illegally elected Chimpy McHitlerburton and restore noble Algore to his rightful rule, the Times was scandalized and shocked that we did not slap human analysists trained in Arabic fast enough on two intercepted phone calls from Afghanistan to two Muslims here, one American, one a resident alien also with full civil liberties!!!

What about the 4th? Why did they dare intercept calls coming from terrorists in Afghanistan without probable cause? Impeach!!

(I don’t think the NYTimes was whining that tune back in June, 2002. That was when we were demanding commissions to investigate why we weren’t snooping enough on enemy Islamoids and why Coleen Crowley was blocked by officials afraid for their careers to get a FISA warrant and why another FBI agent was rebuffed on investigating why Arabs were flocking to Flight school in Phoenix out of concern over the privacy rights of foreigners and lack of probable cause evidence that suspicious activity would translate into harm. Waiting for the “crime” to be committed, in order to have “probable cause” to investigate then solve the crime – was the ancient FBI mindset that the American public and Congress said ended on 9/11 – except for the Lefties and extreme civil libertarians, of course)

I liked the part where the ACLU(less) statement reads “President Bush broke the law and lied to the American people when he unilaterally authorized secret wiretaps of U.S. citizens.”

Innocent until proven Republican? Nice strategy.

I see the ACLU is objecting to the probe.

Can anyone remind me if they objected to the Plame probe?

[...] Michelle Malkin has another great post tonight. It&#8217;s about the breaking news on the FBI investigation involving the leak to the NY Times that the NSA conducted domestic spying ordered by President Bush. Also being investigated is the leak to the Washington Post that the CIA ran secret prisons. Here is a LINK to Michelle Malkin&#8217;s main page where you can read the rest of the story. But get this, At the end of the post Michelle notes that Stop the ACLU is tracking the story. When I saw that I thought &#8216;this I&#8217;ve got to see&#8217;. So I rubbed my fingers for a moment, wispered &#8220;excellent&#8221; and clicked the link. The post at Stop The ACLU (linked here is full of quotes and links to other blogs that are covering the stroy. One of the quotes on is from The Strata-Sphere; I am being told in private by someone with sources that there are multiple targets, Flopping Aces is right that the targets are known since the investigation is well along [...]

Getting Around To Adult Supervision
And another question that ought to be asked is what exactly was the purpose for these leaks in the first place. Was it to discredit and undermine a President and his Administration for political gain? Were there truly legal concerns that outweigh eve…

NYT and WaPo Being Investigated
It’s about darn time! There should be someone charged with treason in these last two “leaks” of information. The “black” prisons and the NSA “listening in” are both national security issues.

I’m waiting to see if MSM “headlines” this probe as often as they headlined the disclosure of the surveillance program — and I’m not holding my breath.

Libs are already posturing the “breach” as non-criminal acts by whistle-blowers ….. Uhhh, would that be the same as in pursing lips and blowing out a Plame?
