I'm sure they are busy "collecting" the notes as we speak Yeah, I got your notes. I got 'em right here...

There is no way in hell Matt Cooper, (husband of Mandy Grunwald), would go to jail.

Let me translate, we will fight to the bitter end and go to jail if necessary to protect information or informants which may harm the Democratic Party
but if it may harm Republicans we will issue self serving statements and then gladly rat them out.
Please, please Mr. Judge, don't make me reveal something which will hurt those nasty Republicans.

This is a good thing in my opinion. If it really was someone in the administration then this will out a person that maybe playing games against the President and the "reporters" will now lose all credibility with their "anonymous" sources. If the "reporters" lied about their source and it turns out not to be in the administration or is already gone, they lose again. If the person is a trusted official then all they have to claim is they heard it from Wilson himself and he just claimed Plame worked for the CIA but never covertly and everything else beyond that is "I don't know". It probably wasn't too hard for the reporters to figure out, 1) CIA employee 2)In Nigeria 3) Seen at the Embassy in Nigeria. Last I checked there are reporters all around the world. If I recall correct, the reporters came back later and tried to claim it wasn't a current administration official?

Will someone explain to me so that I can understand it why Robert Novak was not before this judge for HIS column?It's a grand jury that calls witnesses and it's a secret proceeding. We only hear about going before judges if a witness refuses to cooperate. Therefore, I deduce that Novak has testified and that's why he was not held in contempt.
To: Peach
I can't wait to hear what's in those notes.We probably never will unless there's a trial (doubtful).
I wish I could learn what the notes say, too, but alas...
To: cyncooper
Assuming what's in those notes is who leaked the story, you don't think there will be another leak about the leaker? (That's probably clear as mud!)

In this case I have to agree with the SCOTUS. "Freedom of the press" was never intended to be "freedom for the media to use anonymous sources to smear, distort, character assassinate and invent fairy tales." They have abused this freedom for years, and frankly it's high time someone called them on it. And while there are cases where it's essential to protect the identity of sources, 99% of the "anonymous sources" the media use today are political hacks deliberately causing harm for no other reason than to advance their agendas.
Cry all you want to, MSM - this one's all yours.

I am aggravated that Fox hired him as a pundit, evidently because of his rising profile due to his refusal to cooperate in the grand jury.
They honestly have seemed surprised when the Supreme Court didn't intervene and then today when TIME capitulated.
Good grief.
To: tobyhill
What if it was Wilson himself who was the leaker?

Time is only giving in because Novak said he is going to talk in October, and Time would look really bad for letting its reporters go to jail to protect a DEMOCRAT. They are cutting their losses, as their bluff was called.

"Freedom of the press" was never intended to be "freedom for the media to use anonymous sources to smear, distort, character assassinate and invent fairy tales." Everyone should read up on early American politics. The Founding Fathers ended up knowing everything there is to know about the subject. The press abuses of the late 1700's/early 1800's would make your head spin.
To: KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle
It's still not clear to me why Novak isn't part of this - did he divulge his source? Why Cooper and Miller, but not Novak, who was the one who started the whole thing?

I don't know why this is even an issue. Her name was on his bio on a Middle Eastern think-tank website.
It was hardly a secret.

I'm delighted too. But can't help feel some delight at the left's anger at SCOTUS.

You know if it were damaging to Pres. Bush, the names would have been leaked by know.
