Criminal Inquiry Opens Into Leak in Eavesdropping - New York Times
Well, the Times has written a carefully crafted piece , still relying on anonymous sources who have apparently told the Times and AP that the investigation is underway.
What we need to watch now is whether the media shuts down on this issue since the Times will have its back to the wall for publishing the original story. Or will they choose to hype the view that the investigation of the surveillance itself rather than the leak of classified information, the position naturally sponsored by the ACLU and other liberal organizations, is the one that should take precedence?
I think the Administration is doing exactly the right thing here. The Times had best beware that they are messing with national security and this is a different era than when the Ellsberg Vietnam Pentagon papers were disclosed 35+ years ago.
I note that Keller, executive editor, at the Times had 'no comment.' Why??
