Obama's Plumbers

Just like Richard Nixon, Barack Hussein Obama wants to plug leaks. But somehow I doubt that Obama's desire for better secrecy will be treated quite like Nixon's.

President Obama is angry over recent public disclosures of classified information in Washington and the intelligence community is re-evaluating the post-Sept. 11 push for greater intelligence-sharing, Director of National IntelligenceJames Clapper said Wednesday.

"We are working on information-sharing initiatives across the board," Mr. Clapper said in a speech. "But the classic dilemma of need to share versus need to know is still with us. And I would observe that the Wikileaks episode represents what I would consider a big yellow flag. I think it is going to have a very chilling effect on the need to share."
