30 décembre Spy leaks to be investigatedIt's about time. I noticed this MSNBC post that the Justice Department will be investigating the leak of the NSA survelliance program to the NY Times. I wonder if Jay Rockerfeller will receive a subpoena.
It will be interesting to see if the media gives this leak prosecution the same constant front page/top story consideration that they gave to the Plame "leak" for weeks. Speaking of which, Plame was just outed again....by their 5-year-old-son. Is there anyone Karl Rove can't get to? Perhaps Patrick Fitzgerald can get a warrant to wiretap the kid's FisherPrice phone to see who he called at the White House and when. But I digress....
The article suprisingly doesn't reference any defenses given of the program -- including Jamie Gorelick and other Clinton era officials who have insisted it is legal. But they do recruit the Puffster -- Tom Daschle to express his profound conern about the President's expansive powers:
This was taken from the Puffsters WaPo article Power We Didn't Grant. Sounds more like a confession to me. Puff is confessing that immediately after 9-11 that he tried to block efforts that could have detected the hijackers operating in the US. How can these powers be new and expansive as he suggests if Carter and Clinton had performed warrantless searchs as well -- and in Clinton's case most were not for national security reasons.
UPDATE: Just saw this WaPO article by Dana Priest which starts as follows:
What a joke. Outside of the NY Times and the WaPO and the ACLU, who is making this "growing outcry"? Such an outcry that 64% of Americans support this activity and only 23% disapprove of it.
I just noticed that Scott at Powerline takes on Dana's "article" here: Dana Priest's Global Show-n-Tell. Check it out.
UPDATE 2: Michelle Malkin has more
