"The fact that a newspaper disclosed it makes it harder to win this war on terror," Bush said, leaning forward and jabbing his finger during a brief question-and-answer session with reporters in the Roosevelt Room.
The VP is mad too-
"Some in the press, in particular The New York Times, have made the job of defending against further terrorist attacks more difficult by insisting on publishing detailed information about vital national security programs," Vice President Dick Cheney said in a speech at a political fundraising luncheon in Grand Island, Neb.
"The New York Times has now twice — two separate occasions — disclosed programs; both times they had been asked not to publish those stories by senior administration officials," Cheney said. "They went ahead anyway. The leaks to The New York Times and the publishing of those leaks is very damaging."
It's time to turn this over to AG Gonzales and see if this was illegal. The NY Times knew this was a "classified" document and printed it anyway.

The way this bunch of crooks have underfunded homeland security so their fat pig supporters can have tax cut, oh an exposed CIA agent Valerie Plame they don't have crap to say when if comes to so-called security breaches -- especially in this case when everyone, including the terrorists, about the bank surveillance for the past wo years or more.
This is just election year pandering to get rubes like you stirred up.
Picking a fight, are you? Well, you are going to have to do better than this.
How would you know that Homeland Security has been underfunded? Have you been attacked by a terrorist recently?
PS. Feel free to give your tax cut back.
