Bush is busy trying to protect the country (he's been great at it since 9/11) and someone leaks about these recordings. My question is, where is the investigation?
We had an investigation over a phantom undercover agent but not this? Whats going on in the democratic party? lets worry about serious issues like terrorism and not cover gal plame.

Jro, were you dropped on your head as a small child ?
The Repugnicans control congress & the WH.
Don't try to blame the Dems for a lack of investigation...

Why was the Mrs. CIA leak more important than this?

<tt><tt> DICK MORRIS: SPY STORY COULD BITE DEMS
December 21, 2005 -- Whom did the Valerie Plame leak hurt? Valerie, who went from undercover to on the cover when she posed for Vanity Fair? Joe Wilson, who got a best-selling book out of the deal?
The current leak, however, of classified material relating to National Security Agency tactics in intercepting conversations between people abroad and those within the United States is a vastly serious proposition that may have materially compromised investigations in progress and tipped terrorists off to our methods so that they can hide among us undetected.
This leak, far more than the Valerie Plame incident, deserves a full investigation to identify who spilled the beans and to whom and how. The consequences of this leak alone merit an independent investigation and, perhaps, a trial for treason.
Why does Bush need to use taps without warrants in the fight on terror? The answer is obvious: We often don't know who or what we are looking for.
Our analysts' best hope of catching and exposing terror plots against us lies in combing the airwaves, listening for suspicious words and phrases or patterns. Unlike criminal investigations, which are deductive -- predicated on a single suspect or a number of alternative suspects -- terror investigators want to find out what is going on and only an inductive approach -- amassing lots of material and searching for patterns -- has any chance of success.
For example, in 2002 the federal government tipped off the New York City Police Department that there was a lot of chatter about the Brooklyn Bridge. The resulting police tactics stopped the attack and eventually led to the apprehension of the would-be bomber.
What warrant could the anti-terror investigators have gotten to allow such a search? They had no name, no phone numbers, no idea of what to look for. But a careful analysis of the data averted a massive tragedy.
Politically, the left is making a big mistake in focusing on the issue. Bush is well-served by bringing the terrorism debate home. Isolationists -- about 40 percent of the nation, divided between the two parties -- will not back him on a war in Iraq but sure will support him against attempts to handcuff homeland security in the name of privacy or civil liberties. By raising this issue -- and the concomitant issue of the Patriot Act renewal -- the Democrats are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Iraq is a winner for the left. Homeland security is a loser.

Nice choice of words there, Karl Jr.
Why would the Dems investigate the leak? They have called for the investigation of Bushies' illegal warrantless wiretaps of US citizens though.

The CIA asked for an investigation into whether or not National Security was compromised relating to a possible leak scandal...
WHO WENT TO NIGER TO SEE IF THEY WERE TRYING TO BUY WMD'S? TENET?
****ers are so blind, they can't smell there own ass being fried cause the smoke burns their eyes so bad. BURN BABY BURN
To Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et. All: You didn't protect me on 9/11 you arrogant ****s. You sat there and did nothing while people burned. You sat there and wouldn't give the order to protect DC...
You wanna know what this is about JRO? UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES at the highest level.
We, the people, are mad as hell. And we ain’t taking it anymore. I don’t give a **** how you responded with calls for war. You fouling liars. They didn’t lift a finger to stop it. AND NIETHER DID CLINTON TOO!!!
There is only One party controlling this country, GREED...
