I found this article most interseting:

Don’t Play "Misty" for Me By Jed Babbin Published 12/16/2004 12:08:30 AM

How long are we going to tolerate senators and congressmen who divulge our most closely-held secrets to the public in search of cheap political gain? We have laws that make those leaks serious federal crimes. We're spending enormous resources on finding out who leaked Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA agent to the press. Leaks that are vastly more important -- and which should be pursued with no less determination and resources -- are regularly ignored because the culprits are sitting members of Congress. These leakers should be thrown out of office and prosecuted.

It's been about two years since Sen. Richard Shelby blew one of our most important secrets -- that we were bugging Osama bin Laden's cell phone, a fact that could have led to the capture of America's most wanted terrorist -- by bragging about it to a reporter. Shelby's action (if it really was him) has never been prosecuted. Why not? Now, another huge leak comes in the form of the disclosure by members of the Senate of a highly-classified satellite program. Three members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have apparently committed a very serious crime by blabbing about a highly-classified satellite program to the press last week. If these men actually did what it appears they did, we ought to throw the book at 'em for divulging one of our most-protected secrets: stealthy reconnaissance satellites.

As a result of their revelations to the public and the press, three U.S. Senators -- Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), who's also the ranking Dem on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) -- are the subject of a "criminal referral" made on Monday for speaking publicly about this satellite. Such referrals are made to the Justice Department by the administration when criminal conduct is suspected. In this case, it's not only suspected, it's evidenced on the front pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post. A highly reliable intelligence community source told me that the referral had been made because senior administration officials were beside themselves that the three had taken the controversy on funding this project to the press.

It makes you wonder that we can let these blabbermouths in on our most sensitive National secrets. Frist be a Man and call these guys out.

WE ARE AT WAR YOU MORONS SHUT UP!!!

Shouldn't Senators be required to pass an intelligence test before sitting on the Intelligence Committee?

Ron Wyden is the stupidest man in the Senate (Biden being the dumbest). The clown was asked during his 1st campaign to find Bosnia on a map and he had no clue. This goof is nothing but a jockstrap for the people like Rockefeller and the Lib leaders. How/Why he exists in politics is a marvel. Clap all three of them in Irons.

Unfortunately, our best, brightest and most capable leaders join think tanks these days rather then going the political route.

We have too many intellectually bankrupt and immoral people who run for office today.

I will change this though!
