[Cicero]

Now that I think of it, I think Bush should come right out and say, "We have no idea who leaked this story. The only person who knows is Robert Novak." Novak should be called to testify since he is the one who leaked the information about Plame.

That would put the press in a cleft stick. They are the ones howling for blood. Well, let them howl. If they think the name of the leaker is so important, let them push to have the Justice Department make Novak talk. Then we'll all know, and it won't take a lot of man hours or money to find out.

Do they think a reporter's sources are sacred? Then they should shut up about this whole business. Which is more important to them, finding the truth or protecting their special privileges?

If I wasn't wrapped up in the Cubs game, I would peruse my pdf of the Patriot Act again.

Surely, they thought to include a "clause" pertaining to the "Press" that compels them to reveal 'all', in the interests of the "war on terror"...
