"New" CIA leak being investigated

Some ATS members already know about this story, but a leak revealing secret CIA bases to the Washington Post seems to have hit the mainstream media..

Sources tell Drudge that early this afternoon House Speaker Hastert and Senate Majority Leader Frist will announce a bicameral investigation into the leak of classified information to the WASHINGTON POST regarding the “black sites” where high value al Qaeda terrorists are being held and interrogated.

Said one Hill source: “Talk about a leak that damaged national security! How will we ever get our allies to cooperate if they fear that their people will be targeted by al Qaeda.”

According to sources, the WASHINGTON POST story by Dana Priest (Wednesday November 2), revealed highly classified information that has already done significant damage to US efforts in the War on Terror.

This is much, much bigger than the Valerie Plame scandal. However, because it probably lacks the partisan-political animus, I suspect it will not receive the press it deserves. Whoever leaked this information should get a first-hand tour of one of these facilties.....in handcuffs.

Do you notice a trend here? Everytime the press is 'leaked' one of these earth shattering 'secrets' they're instantly investigated and castrated until they fess up who leaked the info..

Very disturbing trend here. If you can't keep your government personel from airing the skeletons in the closet, make sure they know their identity isnt kept quiet.
