The WASHPOST's frontpage LEAK of the existence of top secret extra-national CIA detention centers has been officially referred to the DOJ for investigation - BY THE CIA. More HERE. (Earlier in the day GOP Congressional leaders announced that they were going to launch a probe themselves.) [More here and HERE.]
PLAMEGATE REDUX. YUCH. Like Plamegate, this info was leaked to HURT BUSH AND OUR EFFORTS TO WIN WW4.
According to REUTERS/ABC, TRENT LOTT said the leaker was a GOP SENATOR! (Or someone on his staff) [More HERE.]
ANY GUESSES? Could it be a certain Senator who wants to pass an inane anti-torture amendment/bill with his name on it? There IS a connection between the common perceptions about torture and about "Black Prisons" - and it is a fact that the Veep has specifically lobbied Congressman NOT to pass the McCain amendment UNLESS it EXEMPTS THE CIA. McCain might have believed that LEAKING THE SECRET could've helped advance his bill. AFTER ALL, THE AMENDMENT'S/BILL'S passage was CO-INCIDENTAL WIT THE LEAK.
If it wasn't McCain - or someone in his office, it might have been an ally of his - on EITHER aisle. Senator DICK "Gitmo = Gulag" Durbin, perhaps. He's my bet if it turns out to be a Donk.
SO WHODUNNIT? Leave your guess in the comments.
UPDATE: fallout in Europe: Romanian president denies reports; EU to investigate. Sheesh: this leak is already damaging our intel gathering efforts and damaging KEY ALLIANCES. Just what the enemy wants. Whoever leaked this info is a traitor guilty of TREASON.
