Handling leaks in the "Good Ole" Clinton days

Back in 2000, a certain Representative from Florida - Porter Goss, sponsered a bill that would have prosecuted leakers of classified information.

You know, the left wants to do to Libby and Rove?

Well, seems that President Billy didn't like the language (would have been a problem down the line for Sandy Burglar), and in a ménage à trois with Attorney General Janet (corruption? where? where?) Reno, and federal prosecutor John L. Martin, decided that the language of the bill were too "vague".

Thus Billy vetoed it, and signed it only after the "offending language" was removed.

Just for perspective.
