Gotta say this for the Bush team - it's hot to ID and jail that White House operative who leaked the name of a CIA agent, which is illegal and could endanger her.
Not.
I had almost forgotten there's an investigation of the leak to right-wing columnist Robert Novak until the Attorney General stepped out of the line of fire a few weeks ago. Today, reports the NY Times. 10 retired intelligence officers have asked the Congress to investigate.
Don't hold your breath.
PS This White House's secrecy is nothing short of amazing. We have yet to get a strong probe into 9/11, but there would be none if the relatives of the World Trade Center dead had not insisted.
Nor do we know the full extent of the White House skullduggery that paved the way for war on Iraq. But we would know zero about how it cooked the intelligence books if not for intelligence officers past and present.
I never thought I would thank the Lord for truth-tellers at the CIA.
