Justice Dept. to Probe Leak of Spy Program

Via MSNBC.

The U.S. Justice Department has launched an investigation to see who disclosed details about a secret domestic eavesdropping operation, department officials said Friday.

“We are opening an investigation into the unauthorized disclosure of classified materials related to the NSA,” one official said, referring to the National Security Agency.

President Bush earlier this month said that he presumed such an investigation was under way. The program, which authorized telecommunications surveillance without a court order, was disclosed by The New York Times, which attributed its information to sources.
