Goss Launches Leak Probe
We’ve been writing for a couple of years now about the CIA’s covert war against the Bush administration. We now have a CIA Director, Porter Goss, who is determined to shut off the flow of illegal leaks. ABC News reports: The director of the CIA has launched a major internal probe into media leaks about covert operations. In an agencywide e-mail, Porter Goss blamed “a very small number of people” »

A legal dispute or a lie?
The Democrats took several positions at the hearings on the NSA intercept program. None of them was that the NSA should only be able to listen to terrorist phone conversations with U.S. citizens if it has first obtained a warrant, or that the administration’s substantive approach to surveillance of terrorist suspects should be other than what it is. Rather, the Democrats’ main position seemed to be that the president should »

The day after
Yesterday at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, I had the pleasure of meeting Charles Hurt, a correspondent for the Washington Times, whose excellent work I enjoy regularly and link to from time to time. Here’s the report Hurt filed about my questioning of Senator Durbin. Here’s what he wrote about the hearing itself. Meanwhile, some in the fever swamp seem to have convinced themselves that yours truly actually works for »

Absurd, but Deadly
It’s been widely reported that the Danish imams who toured the Middle East to stir up trouble over the twelve cartoons that were published in a Danish newspaper brought three more pictures with them. These were supposedly images that had been sent to Danish Muslims as “hate mail,” but had never been published my any news outlet. These three images were much cruder and more offensive than the ones actually »

Reporting from Capitol Hill
Filmmaker Andrew Marcus has made a ten-minute video about yesterday’s Judiciary Committee hearings on the NSA’s terrorist surveillance program; it’s been posted at Pajamas Media.

It’s an excellent recap »
