Senator Trent Lott (R-MS) told CNN's Ed Henry Tuesday afternoon that he believed it was a Republican senator who gave information about secret CIA jails abroad to the Washington Post, RAW STORY can report.

Lott said that much of the information contained in the Post report -- which stated that the U.S. was holding terrorist suspects in secret CIA jails overseas -- was discussed at a meeting of Republican senators last Tuesday.
So the operation of secret prisons, outside the jurisdiction of the Geneva Conventions (only because of the secrecy, not because of law), was discussed with Republican senators? With the apparent exception of John McCain?

Loverly.

Frist was pretty pissed of about this... not the secret prisons part, the telling the American people part. I think we just got the go ahead to use the F word when talking about the modern GOP.

In between the happy talk on the Fox morning show, the three smiling blow-dried 'news' folks seemed pretty happy with the idea of lining someone up against a wall for leaking the information. They thought that telling people about it weakened the US. And here I thought that doing it weakened the US.
