The Journalists who have read and witnessed some of the court proceedings, are very convinced of the seriousness of the crimes..in fact so are the judges.
I don't think there have been any journalists who have witnessed any of the grand jury proceedings (unless they were witnesses themselves, and Matt Cooper says he doesn't know where the prosecuter is doing). Who are the to which you refer?
There is very obviously a crime being investigated by the grand jury. Why else would Judith Miller be in jail? But serious observers (including 38 major media organizations through their lawyers) do not believe that Karl Rove committed a crime. I support Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald. He should prosecute anyone he believes committed a crime when the evidence warrants it. I just don't know who that is.
That's why all these "journalists" filed a brief with the court stating that "no crime has been committed" and "Valerie Plame was not a covert operative". You've been watching way too much ABCCBSNBSPBSCNNMSNBCCNBC.
