So here's a little bit of LA Times propaganda. Note that they explicitly mention where Mark Lea works...but they don't tell you is that he's not an attorney (see link below).
They could have just said that "Mark Lea works in the Wells Fargo building next door," but no, they went out of their way to allude to a law firm (i.e. an attempt to give Mark more credibility than he deserves on a *legal* opinion such as "domestic spying" or "Bush lying").

That's just the July 2005 California Bar pass list. If "Mark Lea" passed the bar before July 2005, his name wouldn't be on it.
I think you're probably right that he's not a lawyer, though. If he were, the L.A. Times likely would have said it.
uh...you linked a search site that shows one bar exam result only....
As despicable as the LA Times spin on this is, most of us could have predicted it in advance if we had thought about it.
The end result is always the same. Bush is wrong. So, take any set of facts or an event and find an angle.
I don't know what their angle will be on the White House Easter egg roll this year will be. Probably something like not enough kids with AIDS were invited.
It's always something.
