The people that manage these systems are either incredibly stupid, or they are traitors.

Oh...wait...never mind.

#7 A little respect if you please -- some of the names on the invitee list are spies for our side, some are spies for the other side, and some we're trying to discretely seduce. We like to play Happy Families with all of them together at the summer picnics...

#10 Loose lips sink ships, Captain America. Even if I knew, I wouldn't dream of saying. *

*But I am awfully glad not to have made the acquaintance of such persons. I do so disapprove of those whose arrogance is not matched by their ability.

Actually, if you knew the inside story (which I can't talk about), you wouldn't be so quick to insult. Not everyone in the DoS is a lefty loonie. SOme of them are rantburgers.

#13 Negative.
OT, but after I read the article this morning, I think I know who leaked the story to the press. The guy is a lefty loon willing to do anything to embarass the Bush admin. He is also a former journalist who brags about his exploits and is currently a low level loudmouth in the department. I have no proof, but only certain people had pieces of the puzzle that was indicated in the article. Additional info not mentioned in the article, he didn't know. Wouldn't bet my life on it, but would bet a shiny nickle.
