#1 I hope it is also your aim to create a lot of vacancies at the CIA.

#2 vacancies where partisan traitors exist? Fine by me. Time to clean house here, State, and the FBI

#3 Maybe not a witch hunt, but definitely witchcraft. Polygraphs do an excellent job of measuring nervousness, but are crap for catching liars. They can be educational, though. A friend's mil, during her entrance poly for the CIA in the late '50's, learned the meaning of the word "lesbian" during hers:

Are you a lesbian?

What's that?

I guess not ...

#4 During the Naalee Holloway investigation, a company marketing new technology to the CIA, FBI, and other law enforcement agencies, came forward and offered their lie detector. It detects lies through voice analysis and claims a very high degree of accuracy. They said they could analyze the interviews of Van der Sloot and friends, I believe, from the tapes. I thought this would be invaluable to see if the jihadis were bluffing or not, but maybe the CIA has a surprise in store for even compulsive liars that can be trained to beat the standard polygraph. ;)

#5 too bad for the leakers. Times have changed since two years ago when they were heros in their fight against the evil Satan, Bush. Now the world is getting real. The damage they did was real. And the prison terms some of the will serve will be real.

#8 "The director of the CIA has launched a major internal probe into media leaks about covert operations."

All together now in your best Wilford Brimley voice.

Leak??? The last time there was a leak like this Noah built himself a boat!

#9 Maybe we need a special detention site for all the journalists who are going to get contempt charges thrown at them. Maybe something on the line that mirrors Gitmo, but say Attu island in Alaska.

#10 CIA Director Investigating Leakers

yes:

Love to see a NTSlimes or WaPo rapporteur get subpoenaed by Grand Jury for leaking...then a few days later the rapporteur's session with Grand Jury is followed by his/her deep CIA throat.

The good part, pressure keep building in Washington till heads start popping..recorded of course in the MSM.

The NYSimes fires off broadsides of background experts blathering on how how noble 4 estate whisleblower traditions have kept our government in check.[meaning Repubs]

Next the dhimmiCrap Pols hold press conferences braying about Republican whichhunts.

Meanwhile back at the Grand Jury our famous rapporteur looking at 25 hard ones folds like a flour sack and rolls over.

The rest is 2-fer history, as the sun sets in the West Valeria Plame and Joe W are seen breaking rocks till the cows come home in 2030.

#11 BTW there's some new technology with something along the lines of an MRI. Seems the brain uses different parts for telling truths and creative 'non-truths'.

#13 US - Think mebbe it can detect truth vs. truthiness?

That would put 25% of the population in CogDis Tremens, heh.

#14 You strap them in the new MRI and ask if they ever intentionally did anything to embarass the administration.
Then you ask them if they ever passed company information to any member of the press.
Then you ask them if they have or know of anyone who has taken part in a coverup.
That should be all you need to crack open the gamers.

#15 the voice-stress analysis is a way-prelim tool - not even of the quality of a lie-detector, and even further from the MRI test. It works mainly as a bluff to get the guilty to spill

Just breadboard - AB is working on a proto-type.

#17 I can remember taking my lie-decector test in Washington, when I was working at the Navy Yard as an Air Force reservist on a long tour. There wasn't much to it. I hope the ones they give people they suspect of leaking a much more thorough grilling.

#18 Application of this will solve the leak problem. We are in a war. Judical and law enfiorcement solutions are not working.

A few rounds into the cranium will suffice.

#19 "...but one former intelligence officer called the new warning a "witch hunt"...

Gentlemen (and ladies), I believe we found our witch.
