ABC News just ran the story--"president has investigated leaks on NSA..."
:eyes:

Other than that piece of crap, they ran a pretty complete and damning story. Saying and showing Bush saying that he is against leaks. Said Bush is leaker himself. Stephanopopuss said that it's unprecedented that a president would leak to a reporter when they have even denied acess of such info congress. They also said Bush is authorized to declassify information based on an executive order--ommitted that he signed the order.

All in all, I'd give the story a B-.

1. CBS
only referred to it all as "an opportunity for democrats" and an "embarrassment" for the president.

we all know what the media would be doing if gore or kerry did this.

2. Opportunity for democrats is like opportunity for prosecutor.
You give a prosecutor an opportunity when you commit a crime.

4. Gloria Borger-she's a definite *bot that can't deal with reality; her
partisanship is always showing.
