The 1998 OBL intercept leak

A quick reference for the 1998 leak concerning the OBL intercepts
is in 1998-08-23 article
"Bin Laden's several links to terrorist units known"
by Bill Gertz in the Washington Times.
[Note added 2006-02-23: See the complete text here.]
Here's some of the relevant part:
U.S. intelligence officials said the CIA had received electronic intercepts linking bin Laden to the Khobar bombing - some of the same electronic evidence that linked his group to the Africa bombings.

...

According to a [CIA Counterterrorism Center] report labeled "top secret" but obtained by The Washington Times, bin Laden told several confederates that the Riyadh bombing was the first action, Dhahran was the second and that "more is coming."

Among those who called bin Laden to congratulate him for the Dhahran bombing were the leader of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Ayman Zawahiri, and a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad named Ashra Hadi. Both are terrorist groups.

Bin Laden also was notified by telephone of the Nov. 13, 1995, bombing in Riyadh on the same day as the blast.

Somebody committed high treason in leaking that.
That information is pure codeword.
And that leak directly led to our failure
to monitor OBL's later communications,
which would have indubitably prevented 9/11.

Permit me a partisan diatribe:
the "responsible people" who did not choose to investigate
were under the all-estrogen "justice" team of
Hillary Rodham Clinton and her hand-picked,
must-be-female, Attorney General, Janet Reno.
The only security feminists care about is that of women.
