Politically Speaking: Aggressive reporting/leaks
Excerpted from this post at Politically Speaking
The Bush administration is taking the news media to task for vigorously reporting on two White House-approved intelligence programs they contend are solely to fight the war on terror, and Capitol Republicans are mulling a resolution on the matter. But for U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, a Democrat, the matter is a case of an administration that wants to have it both ways.
