"You better believe there is a reason Goss mentioned a grand jury right in front of Rockefeller. He didn't have to. It wasn't really relevant to the line of questioning. This was one big-time shot across the bow of the sinking ship Rockefeller."

I hope that it was more than a shot across the bow. My hope of hopes is that there is one and the chips will fall where they may. If that happens and Rockefeller or one of his flunkies gets tagged, look for the label "In what some view as retaliation against a leading critic of Mr. Bush's domestic spying program...." to lead his name ad nauseum. Up to conviction, I hope. *fingers tightly crossed*...

Yesterday I heard something very interesting apropos of all this. Fred Barnes was on Hugh Hewitt's show and said he talked to a few TV anchors who attended the President's tradional lucnh that he holds to preview the SOTU. He said his sources said the the President vehemently defended the surveiilance programs and that it was clear to everyone in the room that he remains resolute and single minded in pursuit of victory in the war or terror.

The game has changed. This President is not going to roll over and play dead while people in either the Executive Branch or Congress leak information to the press that inhibits his ability to wage war. He is not running for reelection and neither is Dick Cheney. He does not give a rip about prosecuting a sitting Senator or hauling one before a Grand Jury if necessary. He is PISSED about this leak and he is going to get to the bottom of it.
