"The nation's largest news organizations and journalism groups" filed a brief in federal court Wednesday arguing that "a federal court should first determine whether a crime has been committed in the disclosure of an undercover CIA operative's name before prosecutors are allowed to continue seeking testimony from journalists about their confidential sources," the Washington Post reports:
The 40-page brief, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, argues that there is "ample evidence . . . to doubt that a crime has been committed" in the case
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those frogs are going to march.
I've noticed that many on the "right" were arguing that no crime was committed when it was thought (by force of Wilson's egotistical claims) that the perp was Rove, Libby, or one of the "neo-cons."
Now that it is apparent it wasn't, some on the "left" all the sudden changed there mind and said no crime was committed.
I guess WSJ is remaining consistent.
I don't know if a "crime" was committed but surely outing the identity of a CIA agent is a serious matter that must be investigated.
Is there a chance that Joe might have to get on a work release program to play himself?
As the worm squirms. Tune in manana.
The lying leftist bastards at the NY Slimes are an amazing group of liars of the lying lefties.
Actually, it would be good to see some jail time for some of the top liars who pushed this bs. Apparently, Peter King is working for this justice behind the scenes, and those involved in the Yellowcake/Wilson/Plame scam are very scared of what may happen.
