Sorry, I didn't get that out of the article you posted.

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told reporters hours after terrorists crashed hijacked jetliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that U.S. intelligence had intercepted a telephone call from a suspect reporting to his handler that the targets in New York City and near Washington had been hit.

That's TS/SI. While it doesn't mention the names of the individuals, it states methods and sources and for the targets involved in the intercept, they know they're under surveillance and their phone calls are being intercepted. I recall a seperate story [that I won't try to find] that Al Quaeda has moved from using land line and cell phones to using phone booths [which are not monitored]. There goes a source, possibly due to Hatch's stupid comment to impress the public on how much he knows.

Why doesn't Sandy B. proffer the same me culpa that Orin did, if things are as you say they are?

I'm not sure what you've been reading, but Berger said he did it, he shouldn't have done it and he's sorry he did it. You want him to wear a sack cloth?

Of course there was no Senate hearing on Hatch, but they're quick to have a hearing in the House on Berger.
