Since it appears that there is now no dispute that the "leak" was not itself illegal, the only reason I can think of that the knowledge of the neighbors would be relevant is if the prosecutor were trying to determine whether testimony by Plame and/or Wilson was truthful. If they told the grand jury that her status was a big secret, but their neighbors knew about it, then I think that might implicate them in trying to mislead the investigators.

It takes three people to write this crap?

[Dansong]

How crazy is it that an investigation about a leak is seemingly being leaked around town by those responsible for prosecuting leaks?

[satchmodog9]

I don't understand going to neighbors and asking them this asinine question. Gee, what's the chance they are libs?

[Mo1]

I wonder if these reporters give themselves wipelash with all the back and forth reporting

It's Rove
No .. It' Libby
It's Rove
No .. It's Cheney
It's Rove
No ... It's Bush
It's Rove

I still cannot see how you can expose a covert operative if he or she is not covert. Be like me saying that so and so works down at Wal-Mart and being hung out to dry for it. Am I missing something here or not?

[God luvs America]

I'm confused...they are now going to the average guy on the street....

Is it the focus of the prosecution??

Or the focus of the persecution???

[Fresh Wind]

With indictments due within days or even hours, isn't it a bit late to be sending out agents to interview the neighbors?

Tom Hamburger" Deadline come on boy"

Richard B. Schmitt "Let's see, what kind of crap we can make up today"

Peter Wallsten "Hey, we'll put out bogus Rove story today"

[DustyMoment]

If Fitzgerald wants to know the truth about Rove/Libby/ Cheney/Bush/Wilson/Plame, et al, he needs to make sure that he questions the janitors and the garbage men who collect their trash.

If not, he's missing the REAL answers to who leaked what to whom and blah, blah, blah.

If these "leaks" are true they are acting like Keystone Cops. They keep shifting focus to someone else. They have had 2 years to probe. One minute it's Cheney, one minute it's Rove and then Libby. The more the inquiry moves the more I'm convinced they have nothing

I'm sure this has been asked and answered, but I need to ask it again. When you work for the CIA - no matter what the job - do you not have a parking decal or gate entrance decal on your vehicle so you can enter and park? Wouldn't she have this on her car? Wouldn't this let everyone know, regardless of her job proper, that she worked there?

How can a neighbor not know where she worked, regardless of her job title, if you live next door to someone for years, see their car and, if this decal is on there, not know where they work?

[Austin Willard Wright]

There are several issues that could be under examination. Was there a cover-up? More provacatively, who forged the Niger documents and who knew that they were forged?

[lepton]

Wow. This even *looks* like they are just guessing.

[AmishDude]

Gee. Last night it was Libby. Libby was practically already convicted.

I wonder if Fitzgerald actually set up somebody in his office. That would be sah-weet.

[NormsRevenge]

Looks like the LA Times wants a piece of the action too. Thanks for posting.
