Officials: Outing domestic spying hampers intel
Updated: 3:33 p.m. ET Feb. 2, 2006

WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence officials told Congress on Thursday that disclosure of once-classified projects like President Bush’s no-warrant eavesdropping program have undermined their work.

“The damage has been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission,” CIA Director Porter Goss told the Senate Intelligence Committee, citing disclosures about a variety of CIA programs that he suggested may have been compromised.

Goss said a federal grand jury should be empaneled to determine “who is leaking this information.”

But Democratic members of the panel accused the Bush administration of wanting to have it both ways.

“The president has not only confirmed the existence of the program, he has spoken at length about it repeatedly,” while keeping Congress in the dark, said Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, the panel’s senior Democrat.

Oh, it really is illegal. I guess that could be a minor drawback.

"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a bit longer."
