Schumer wants details about leaked terror suspect's name

[NeoConsSuck]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Democratic senator asked the White House on Monday to explain why the name of an imprisoned al-Qaeda terror suspect was disclosed to reporters even as the suspect was cooperating secretly by sending e-mails to terrorists so authorities could trace their locations.

Sen. Charles Schumer of New York asked the White House homeland security adviser, Frances Townsend, to identify who provided to reporters last week the name of Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan and why Khan's name was disclosed. Schumer also asked whether Townsend believed the disclosure had compromised national security.

To keep Kerry from getting a post convention bounce, of course.
