I question the timing.

Time for these three to be shown the door at the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. In a word: Intolerable. Americans have an increased danger as long as these three traitors are told SECRETS. They have sold out their constituents as well as all Americans at home and abroad. Bravo gentlemen - you should be very proud.

Yes the saying still holds true. If you want to keep a secret tell no one. If you want it leaked tell a congressman. And nothing will come of this except more ill will. They will claim ignorance of it and call it politically motivated, the democrats will rally round them and it will be. In the meantime they once again put our nation at risk. Why have so many Democrats decided to back our enemies instead of fellow Americans. I remember 9/11 do they?

This certainly seems more serious than the - perhaps unintentional - outing of a long-inactive and useless agent like Plame. These men identified and characterized a massive, ongoing, highly sensitive program with immediate national security implications.

I have no doubt thatyour faith in Mr Marshall and his ilk will be appropriately rewarded.

At a minimum, these traitors should be censured by the Senate and be thrown off of all committees.

At a maximum, they should be shot for treason.

Stop trying to chill their free speech!

Wasn't Rockefeller the senator whose staff wrote memos explicitly detailing how they were going to, ahem, TIME the release of some issues they were working on a few months down the road in order to inflict maximum political damage on Bush? It was mildly scandalous because the work done by the intelligence committee has long been considered to vital to national security to politicize. The Democrats really don't give a fuck about things like that anymore, it's just "Get Bush!" for them now.

The details of that escape my memory. There was some kind of counter-scandal because some Republican senate staffers exploited common security holes in the email system to get the memos.

Idiots.

Unbelievable.

I expect these Senators to be held to the same level of accountability that we hold CBS News and the UN. I know I'm aiming high, but what this scandal needs is a vigorous whitewashing!

Shouldn't members of a Senate intelligence comittee be required to know something about... um, I don't know... the proper handling of classified information? This is elementary stuff, folks. Taught on Day One to any employee of the CIA, FBI, NSA or DOD. Why is it that the Senate feels the need to play fast and loose with the most basic of rules?

The problem may lie with the diminishing number of average years each Senator has spent in a less glamorous form of public service... the military. Where they might of learned a thing or two about "loose lips."
