Video: Khan Leak - Did Bush Administration Leak Lead to London Bombings?

Khan leak. On 2004-08-01, the Bush Administration leaked the name of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, an arrested computer hacker in Pakistan who was actively collecting information on Al Qaeda. This blew an undercover operation which may have prevented the London bombings.

This video is a compilation of pertinent news footage. If anyone has any more clips (for example Rice stating that Khan's name was leaked "on background"), please send them to me and I'll incorporate them into the next version.

Update: [2005-08-02] This month's r4nt.com has a dedicated splash page.
