Dave,
Why is the Justice Dept probing the leak rather than the domestic
spying program itself? Or did I miss the announcement of the latter?

Justice Dept. Probing Domestic Spying Leak
By TONI LOCY, Associated Press Writer
The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the leak of
classified information about President Bush's secret domestic spying
program, Justice officials said Friday.
The officials, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of
the probe, said the inquiry will focus on disclosures to The New York
Times about warrantless surveillance conducted by the National
Security Agency since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Revelation of the secret spying program unleashed a firestorm of
criticism of the administration. Some critics accused the president
of breaking the law by authorizing intercepts of conversations —
without prior court approval or oversight — of people inside the
United States and abroad who had suspected ties to al-Qaida or its
affiliates.
