Leak Prosecutions Coming Soon

By AJStrata on Leak Investigations
The Strata-Sphere

The long awaited announcements that investigations into leaks are turning to prosecutions may be starting. Pete Hoekstra enlightens us on the Bush adminstrations pending actions:

<<< The Bush administration is preparing a crackdown on intelligence leaks to the media and will try to pursue prosecutions in some recent cases, the chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Tuesday.

Michigan Republican Rep. Peter Hoekstra also suggested some unauthorized leaks could have been deliberate attempts to help al Qaeda.

“More frequently than what we would like, we find out that the intelligence community has been penetrated, not necessarily by al Qaeda, but by other nations or organizations,” he said.

“I don’t have any evidence. But from my perspective, when you have information that is leaked that is clearly helpful to our enemy, you cannot discount that possibility,” he added.

In recent months, two major intelligence operations were leaked to the media: the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program and the Treasury Department’s tracking of international banking transactions.

“There will be a renewed effort by the Justice Department in a couple of these cases to go through the entire process … so they can prosecute,” Hoekstra said in a speech to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. >>>

I am with Mac Ranger on this, I think the recent court decision upholding the search warrant on Congressional offices was the final nail in the coffin. The inside buzz from Mac and others (along with some simple common sense regarding who knew) points to Senators, Congressman and their staffs. Especially in the NSA surveillance story from last December which was completely incorrect on the relationship between the NSA and FISA and the source of the friction (NSA leads being passed to FISA, not going around FISA). Those errors were necessary to create propaganda that would possibly impact Bush’s support and poll numbers. That right there is a tell when the errors all line up and point to one result. Errors are supposed to be random when they are truly errors. Lies line up in one direction.
