Rep Hoekstra: Media Leaks Could Be "Deliberate Attempts To Help Al Qaeda"
Republican says US readying crackdown on leaks By David Morgan
Tue Jul 11, 2006

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration is preparing a crackdown on intelligence leaks to the media and will try to pursue prosecutions in some recent cases, the chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Tuesday.

Michigan Republican Rep. Peter Hoekstra also suggested some unauthorized leaks could have been deliberate attempts to help al Qaeda.

"More frequently than what we would like, we find out that the intelligence community has been penetrated, not necessarily by al Qaeda, but by other nations or organizations," he said.

"I don't have any evidence. But from my perspective, when you have information that is leaked that is clearly helpful to our enemy, you cannot discount that possibility," he added.

1. Is Hoekstra concerned about RevMoon's gifting NKorea with submarines
and military use hardware PLUS the tens of millions of dollars we know he's given crazy ol' Kim in recent years?

2. WTF? Words matter Mr. Hoekstra
It is not outside the realm of possibility that these "leaks" came from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. There is a track record of that happening. And if that is the case, he's just accused the WH of 'deliberately helping our enemy'. But, of course, that wouldn't be treason because from what I learned with yesterday's Judiciary Committee Hearing "the President is always right."

We have some crazy batshit people in our government these days. "al Queda" is the new Red Scare.
