Times Leak Did Severe Damage

Referring to our intelligence gathering around the world, CIA Director Porter Goss said the NYT leak of the Terrorist Surveillance Program endangered America's security. From NewsMax:

CIA Director Porter Goss said Thursday that the disclosure of President Bush's eavesdropping-without-warrants program and other once-secret projects had undermined U.S. intelligence-gathering abilities.
"The damage has been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission," Goss told the Senate Intelligence Committee. He said a federal grand jury should be empaneled to determine "who is leaking this information."

And he's not kidding:

"I use the words 'very severe' intentionally. And I think the evidence will show that," Goss said.
He said not only have these revelations made it harder for the CIA to gather information, but they have made intelligence agencies in other countries mistrustful of their U.S. counterparts.

This begs the question, does the Left want America to lose the War on Terror?
