Could be. Some initial thoughts:
--The MSM has been cornered into a precedent with the Valerie Plame debacle. To them, leaking classified info is now a crime on par with smoking in a vegetarian restaurant. Coming to the defense of their lackeys in government will now paint them as uber-hypocrites. IOW, their own words will be used to beat them senseless.
--What has Porter Goss been up to? His initial mission was to clean up the CIA, but we haven't seen much of that. Has he been taking names and gathering evidence all this time? We can only hope so. I think we're going to be hearing a lot from him in the next few months.
--Is this the Mother of All Bush/Rove Rope-A-Dopes? Did Bush purposely let the MSM push the envelope with the wiretap story, knowing they would cross the line? Was Bush's plea to not run the story a warning in disguise?
