Justice Dept. Opens Inquiry Into Leak of Domestic Spying - New York Times

Justice Dept. Opens Inquiry Into Leak of Domestic Spying - New York Times

The government is absolutely correct to launch an investigation into the illegal disclosure of secrets and the N.S.A. is right to ask for it. Compared to the Valerie Plame case, this is serious national security business that the FBI should investigate, leaving no stone unturned.

I note the Times isn't reporting this story itself, instead relying on the Associated Press. I wonder if the Times is getting cold feet? They should be very concerned that they have used sources within government to disclose secrets in the war on terror. Before this is over, Times reporters and management will appear before a grand jury.
