Justice Department Probing NSA Leak
Excellent...
The reporters in question should be subpoenaed as to their sources. If they refuse to comply they should be thrown in jail for contempt until they're willing to talk.
They can share Judith Miller's cell for all I care.
This NSA leak is several magnitudes more serious than the Plame leak and deserves at least as much attention and scrutiny as that leak did.
For the record, though, I can't get over how these leak investigations are typically reported in the media through heavy reliance on...leakers.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the leak of classified information about President Bush's secret domestic spying program, Justice officials said Friday.
The officials, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the probe, said the inquiry will focus on disclosures to The New York Times about warrantless surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The Times revealed the existence of the program two weeks ago in a front-page story that acknowledged the news had been withheld from publication for a year, partly at the request of the administration and partly because the newspaper wanted more time to confirm various aspects of the program.
