So your position is that shit, everyone KNEW that she was CIA at the time, so the statute couldn't apply, right?
Which means that Fitzgerald has been pissing in the wind for the last couple of years, has jailed a reporter for no good reason, and convinced multiple layers of appeals court judges to agree with him on doing so.
Strikes me as somewhat improbable, but I give you points for spunk. We'll see what the results of the grand jury investigation are, which I'm hoping will come to fruition about 12-14 months from now.

I agree completely, but as one who'd like to see this thing blow up into a mini-Watergate, I am fearful that for this thing to bite as it should, Fitz has to land this sucker in 6 months, not 12-14. We do not have the same attention spans we had in watergate, and unlike Nixon, a large chunk of the press in this country does not want to see Bush dragged through the mud. If we're talking 12-14 months, this thing is dead in the water. Unless it pops up at some opportune time, such as the hearings on Bush's nominee to replace Rehnquist.
