Fighting Back, and About Time

The GOP is starting to fight back against the silly CIA Wilson/Plame leak case by starting an investigation into a CIA leak that has done real damage (from Drudge):

Sources tell Drudge that early this afternoon House Speaker Hastert and Senate Majority Leader Frist will announce a bicameral investigation into the leak of classified information to the WASHINGTON POST regarding the “black sites” where high value al Qaeda terrorists are being held and interrogated.

Said one Hill source: “Talk about a leak that damaged national security! How will we ever get our allies to cooperate if they fear that their people will be targeted by al Qaeda.”

According to sources, the WASHINGTON POST story by Dana Priest (Wednesday November 2), revealed highly classified information that has already done significant damage to US efforts in the War on Terror.

It almost appears that the CIA is more at war with the Bush Adminstration than it is with terrorism.
