This is what happens when our leaders get their information "just like us from watching the news". They have to do this to try and catch up with what they missed.


WASHINGTON — Even before the F.B.I. conducted 550 interviews of officials and seized the phone records of Associated Press reporters in a leak investigation connected to a 2012 article about a Yemen bomb plot, agents had sought the same reporters’ sources for two other articles about terrorism.

In a separate case last year, F.B.I. agents asked the White House, the Defense Department and intelligence agencies for phone and e-mail logs showing exchanges with a New York Times reporter writing about computer attacks on Iran. Agents grilled officials about their contacts with him, two people familiar with the investigation said.

And agents tracing the leak of a highly classified C.I.A. report on North Korea to a Fox News reporter pulled electronic archives showing which officials had gained access to the report and had contact with the reporter on the day of the leak. They studied one official’s entrances and exits from the State Department, obtained his Yahoo e-mail information and even searched his hard drive for deleted files, documents unsealed this month showed.

The emerging details of these and other cases show just how wide a net the Obama administration has cast in its investigations into disclosures of government secrets, querying hundreds of officials across the federal government and even some of their foreign counterparts.

He seems to be trying to cast blame upon the press for the leaks when it was disloyalty in his own administration that caused them.

But hasn't every President remained fully informed by watching the news?

Are we?

But shouldn't the Justice Department be sicced on every reporter trying to do his/her job for "We the People"?

Actually, these investigations began about the time that talk-show host Glenn Beck uncovered Commie Van Jones had access to classified information. (Commie Van Jones was pressed into the administration by The Won).

Now I'm reading that five days ago, a Washington Post presstitute, Dana Milbank wrote,

"The Rosen affair is as flagrant an assault on civil liberties as anything done by George W. Bush’s administration, and it uses technology to silence critics in a way Richard Nixon could only have dreamed."

(Even as Milbank's ox is being gored, any Washington Post reporter is always more favorably viewed while pointing to Republicans as bad examples, than say, Stalin).
