this is the chess or checkers question again. we know the whitehouse
has a habit of putting out "strategic leaks." the question then becomes
how many moves ahead is richard cheney thinking? are we talking checkers
or chess?

maybe the link led right back to the leak. it would be interesting to know
if there was any loss of life associated with this leak, and whose life was
lost, what they knew, etc.

Fox News should probably be shot for treason, all except for Colmes, who although liberal, is the only fair person on the fair and balanced fraud network.

Fox should be lumped in with the unnamed congressman who spilled the beans that we were tracking Osama by his cell phone. Oops.

I don't thnk this is Fox's fault. Like I would blame the White House more than Fox. For all the stupid stuff Fox does, it's a news site, and when it gets news information it reports it (with a heavy bias of course).

But much more of the blame is with the intelligence gathering company (for sharing the info with the White House rather than just the NSA or CIA). And with the leaks within the White House.
