LEAKS AND THE LEAKING LEAKERS WHO LEAK THEM

You know that Star Trek TNG episode where an entity holds the Enterprise captive for experimental purposes and whatever direction the ship goes it ends up in the same place?

Well, this is kinda like that:

Bush orders officials to stop the leaks

WASHINGTON - Concerned about the appearance of disarray and feuding within his administration as well as growing resistance to his policies in Iraq, President Bush - living up to his recent declaration that he is in charge - told his top officials to "stop the leaks" to the media, or else.

News of Bush's order leaked almost immediately.

Bush told his senior aides Tuesday that he "didn't want to see any stories" quoting unnamed administration officials in the media anymore, and that if he did, there would be consequences, said a senior administration official who asked that his name not be used. (italics mine)

I guess it's just in their blood. (link via atrios)
