CIA Leakers At It Again

The traitors that lurk within the CIA, and their compatriots in the mainstream media (this time USA Today), are at it again, this time leaking more classified information about national security plans during a time of war (h/t Little Green Footballs):

WASHINGTON - Congressional Democrats demanded answers from the Bush administration Thursday about a report that the government secretly collected records of ordinary Americans’ phone calls to build a database of every call made within the country.

“It is our government, it’s not one party’s government. It’s America’s government. Those entrusted with great power have a duty to answer to Americans what they are doing,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth telephone companies began turning over records of tens of millions of their customers’ phone calls to the National Security Agency program shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to USA Today, citing anonymous sources it said had direct knowledge of the arrangement.

Understand, these are records of phone numbers called, not recordings of actual conversations. Do you have a problem with that? I don't. Again, if you've got nothing to hide, these kinds of investigations are not a cause of alarm at all.

This is clearly an attempt by the deadenders in the CIA to derail the nomination of Gen. Michael Hayden to lead the agency. It's so blatently obvious that this is nothing more than a leak designed to do political damage, I wonder if people will just start ignoring this stuff when they recognize it for what it is?

One thing's for sure, the CIA is still a rat's nest that needs to be cleaned out, and I hope Hayden is the guy to do it.
