Isikoff last night indicated that the Special Prosecutor is pursuing another crime, disclosing or confirming confidential information in that the statement,"I heard that too" is the basis of confirmation. According to Isikoff this is the reason for the SP's questioning of the "document" Powell carried on Air Force One. If the MSM can't get em on one, move on to the next.

It seems that the MSM has really become a political movement against conservatism.
The new Contras?

Issakoff said something else on the Scarborough show last night that I thought was kind of disturbing...

...he said that he (Issakoff) "was in the courtroom" when the Fitzgerald announced before the grand jury, "This is not a case about investigating a whistleblower. This is a case of investigating an attempt to punish a whistleblower." [paraphrased]

Issakoff seemed very smug that despite the evidence that the law against outing covert agents had not been broken, Fitzgerald was still after somebody in the White House.

The only way I could see a statement like that in a good light would be if Fitzgerald meant that in a totally upside-down way (to what Issakoff thought it meant).

I.e., could it mean that Fitzgerald is viewing ROVE as the whistleblower on WILSON -- and Wilson as the punishable one, who had tried to wreak vengeance on a whistleblower?

Or am I being too clever by half, hoping that's what Fitzgerald meant?
