White House to investigate leak of CIA chief name - CBS News

The last paragraph of the CBS story says that CBS is withholding the name of the person who released the secret information ...... and so is every other "News" organization, because they all got the same Press Release - which was signed by the "leaker".

It's a circular firing squad and all the guns are loaded with blanks.
I'm surprised Obama hasn't blamed Bush for the leak, yet. I bet he will soon.

Rather far removed from Bush for that. It will probably be Fox News, the Tea Party or Koch dudes who he'll blame.

The Obama administration made a boo-boo in Kabul which revealed the identity of the CIA station chief there. The media/political response?

Crickets...
US media has a bias.

IMHO, the main stream media is just a mouthpiece for the democratic party. That's all its really ever been, its just that they hid it well before. Now its completely out in the open. I don't even pay attention to their "news" anymore. The best you can get from them is what happened, and even not that very well. But after the basic facts, its all liberal spin.

And Al Capone wasn't charged with racketeering when he was sent to prison, but that was the reason law enforcement was after him.

Made up statements do not win an argument.

Obama woke up and read the paper.
He's mad as hell.

And now the White House is investigating itself !
Can this get any funnier ?

They've already blamed "inexperienced personnel" who didn't know any better.

Which, with a little critical thought, would be an admission of guilt on their part.

But we'll never know who it is, or how they were reprimanded, because it's "under investigation" and therefore nothing can be said.
