If it's so damn obvious, how come nobody has been busted for it? Read that statement more carefully. When somebody is actually placed in some form of legal jeapordy for the leak itself, get back to me.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Stupid Brosz gets all his information from bloggers, doesn't he? The air of superiority is getting a bit old, particularly from people that require me to do everything but hang Christmas lights on a concept to get it across.

In the course of a day, I read dozens of mainstream and not-so-mainstream news sources, translations of foreign papers, particularly Arabic, digests of information from a number of sites, and many other things. I integrate it, toss out the crap, and do more research on promising items.

And yes, I also read blogs, many of which are written by people who probably have fifty IQ points over one or two people here. Why should I value their opinion any less than that of the people who post here? What credentials are we bringing to the table at this site?

BTW, you might want to keep up on that Plame case if you're that interested. The idea that Plame's status was "only known in the intelligence community" hasn't been holding up all that well.
