Shermy, did you see this in the article? Senate hearing next week. I'm sure all involved will put on quite a show, most likely to the detriment of transparency, truth and real reporting.

Cooper also said he would be testifying next week before a Senate committee on a federal shield law for reporters, a measure he supports.

A question for you, if you know. Remember there is an ongoing Independent Council investigation from the Clinton years. It is due to be released this summer. Democrats tried to defund it's release a few months ago but bloggers discovered it and Republicans were able to change the senate bill at the last minute.

Just wondering, but what if all of this business about Rove is overshadowing the release of that IC report? Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of that Independent Council. Can you?

I missed that. What a joke. The judges said even if that were the law, he wouldn't be protected - for protecting a crime.
