U.S. to Probe Disclosure of NSA's Domestic Wiretaps WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the leak of classified information about President Bush's secret domestic spying program, Justice officials said today.The officials, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the probe, said the inquiry will focus on disclosures to The New York Times about warrantless surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
So, now, as i understand, the Justice Department is going to secretly conduct an investigation into the telling of the secrets about the secret spying on US citizens conducted illegally by the US government. After they first make all sorts of deceptive and ludicrous attempts to justify the unconstitutional actions, they will then punish people for blowing the whistle on what they say was okay for them to do, hoping to get the punishment phase in place before Congress and the Court rule just how illegal and unconstitutional the activities were. But what is even more bizarre is that they will knowingly have to investigate a leak that is two to three years old, one they knew existed, indeed one they were so aware of that they met with the NYT staff to quash the story so it wouldn't come out before the election. Can we all now say together:Blowing smoke and strange shaped mirrors, we must be in the fun house!
