Start with some here assuming the White House divulged Plame's status and identitiy to a reporter so as to protect the Republican side of things. Then, a Republican U.S. Attorney who is God's gift to Illinoi, is appointed to investigate things.
So, how do we get reporters from the NYT, Time Magazine, NBC and the Washington Post being threatened or held in contempt for failing to divulge sources? First of all, I'm all in favor of taking out Novak and shooting him. But isn't it strange that a bunch of reporters from leftist rags are the ones who are stonewalling the court? A conspiracy theorist might guess that the secret lies barely beyond the shallow walls that define their principles. And, if those shallow walls should crumble in the face of time at Club-Fed (please, please, please Lord let them serve in Marion until they speak), who exactly would we expect reporters from NYT, Time Magazine and the WaPo to be protecting?
I'm half expecting to see James Carville behind that curtain. How is it that leftist rags are protecting sources that harmed leftist causes? Y'all might think its a clever Rovian trick. But I'm beginning to detect the faint smell of the Democratic party being protected here. Anyone got any garlic?

Anything's possible, including that these other reporters don't wish to give up Novak's source because burning sources is anathema to the success of journalism generally -- in the long run, it drains the swamp of potential sources.
But club and I have already yelled at each other and bored the board over this topic, so I'll drop it there.
