News reports of classified information have become so common that the New York Times is seeking to rename it's reader advertising section so that it can create a new "classified" section. They will probably run this section between the news and the editorial pages.

I hope no effort is spared in determining who leaked classified information about NSA intelligence activities to the Times. And it shouldn't be that difficult. The list of people who had knowledge of the activity can't be that long.

Personally I would start with "Leaders in Congress have been briefed more than a dozen times on this authorization and the activities conducted under it." I have a hunch that starting there would probably bring the investigation to a swift conclusion.
