This is a Big Deal leak that compromised ongoing investigations, worldwide. This makes Berger, even Shelby pale into meaninglessness by comparison. Rice admits her fingerprints are on it. I assume the FBI will get right on it. Senator Charles Schumer is asking for an investigation.

UPDATE: Spencer Ackerman has more. He points out, the Pakistani Interior Minister has said he thought Khan could have netted Osama bin Laden. And that this guy had contacted possible terrorists here in the US. I'm still trying to come to terms with how staggering this is, that the administration could have even thought of blowing it for political purposes. If their judgment is truly that bad, they should resign. When will we start hearing from the British about this?
