The Bush administration, seeking to limit leaks of classified information, has launched initiatives targeting journalists and their possible government sources. The efforts include several FBI probes, a polygraph investigation inside the CIA and a warning from the Justice Department that reporters could be prosecuted under espionage laws.
In recent weeks, dozens of employees at the CIA, the National Security Agency and other intelligence agencies have been interviewed by agents from the FBI's Washington field office, who are investigating possible leaks that led to reports about secret CIA prisons and the NSA's warrantless domestic surveillance program, according to law enforcement and intelligence officials familiar with the two cases.
The Bush administration is painfully aware that they cannot function in the white light of media scrutiny. They are terrified that the media will finally start doing their jobs and reveal once and for all just how criminal an administration we currenlty have in the White House.
I hope that the news organizations manage to undermine the credibility of this gang of thugs enough to keep them from being successful in this endeavor. All the media has to do is to tell the truth. The rest should happen naturally.
Then there is the problem of the liberal bloggers for the White House to deal with. We are cetainly not going to be frightened away by these ham fisted attempts to keep the truth from getting out! (Did I sound brave sitting here typing in my pajamas?)
There is much courage shown by late night bloggers as they sit in jammies eating Lucky charms snugging with their Doggies...
