I agree! No more taking calls from reporters...period! If something needs to be said, let the press secretary say it, or have a press conf. It's just like playing nice with the dims....nothing good ever comes from it!
You are correct about that -- nothing good ever does come of it!
It is even more ridiculous that it took two years to get to this. What did Libby tell the FBI and GJ that caused them to search further. Being "cute" with the press came back and bit them IMHO!
