THey simply cannot let anything go by without a poolitical dig.

#2 More info from Fox:

Officials have confirmed to FOX News that the FBI is involved in the investigation, but did not comment on whether other agencies were involved, when the investigation began or whether the referral for the probe came from the National Security Agency itself.

The White House is expected to comment further on the investigation at 12:30 p.m. ET.

#3 I don’t want to sound like one of those yahoos in the fever swamp but I really hope this leads to a prominent Dhimicrat Senator or House member. Also I hope the news comes out around September so as to affect that parties chances. I wonder if the MSM will give the same amount of coverage they gave to the non-stories of Plame an Delay?

#4 I hope it leads to some lawyers getting it in the butt during their stay in jail for contempt for protecting their secret source. That will reduce the incidence of the press "doing it's job" by passing on classified information leaked by some one else.

I hope the some one else gets it too when they get sentenced.

#5 Democrat? Nah, I hope its Lincoln Chaffee or Arlen Spector. Give us a chance to replace them, their RINOs anyway.

#8 "I hope it leads to some lawyers getting it in the butt during their stay in jail for contempt for protecting their secret source."

I know some lawyers. They advise the folks who go to jail for not revealing their sources. No lawyer ever went to jail for not talking.

#9 They should get the Warrants and Subpoenas for the investigation from the FISA court itself. Just so it's all on the up-and-up.... I mean, since everyone agrees that the FISA court is so error free and all....
