Still unanswered: Will a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate just who leaked the information about the NSA program to the New York Times, so that person can be prosecuted for their crime, which undermined national security, aided our terrorist enemy and put American lives at risk?

move along, nothing to see here: Spy Court Judge Quits In Protest By Carol D. Leonnig and Dafna Linzer A federal judge has resigned from the court that oversees government surveillance in intelligence cases in protest of President Bush's secret authorization of a domestic spying program, according to two sources. Posted by: Scott at December 21, 2005 9:48 AMLet's haul this NY Times reporter Risen up in front of a grand jury and ask him to reveal who leaked this thing? Was it Senator Rockefeller? If he refuses to testify, off to jail he goes and no book tour. If it was the right thing to do to Judith Miller when Rove was the target, it should be good enough for Risen. Anyone think it will happen? The timing of this leak report continues to amaze me. The fact that the reporter knew about it for a YEAR and only revealed it the day after the miracle of the first free election in the Arab world (Iraq in case you were wondering) was nothing short of an organized campaign to derail good news. Since the leak of course this phony story has sucked all the oxygen out of the room. Posted by: Mike's America at December 22, 2005 10:02 PMPost a comment
