The info Novak would provide would necessarily implicate someone in the Bush administration. So, unless it's Tenet or Whitman (Todd-Whitman? whatever) or someone else shoved out, it'd really be an aid to terrorism to prosecute this. Because, you know, making the admin look bad is WAY worse for the war on terrorism than the leaking of info on traitorous* covert operatives.

*she is clearly a traitor and wants to aid terrorists because she is married to someone who criticized the admin's case for war. Like, Terrorist, 3rd Degree.

Have I told you lately that I love you? Or lust you. Whichever. Anyhoo, you make the skin on my cheeks all dewy and younger-looking.

That's pretty impressive for an old guy. Have you been saving up?

More importantly, why is Ashcroft not at least trying to prosecute him? The DOJ under Ashcroft has been seeking to push the envelope of prosecutable offense using the terror prtext for some time. Seems Novak is an excellent test case for the law you cite above. At a minimum, a diligent prosecutor would charge Novak to squeeze him into providing info.

Ashcroft recused himself, and the prosecutor on this (the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois) is, by all accounts, pushing hard. If Bush really wanted whoever outed Plame to be nailed, he would tell them to fess up. Or he would retroactively waive the off-the-record thing, like the White House did when it made public Richard Clarke's off-the-record briefings with journalists in an effort to try to embarrass him. But it's hard to fault the prosecutor for failing to go after Novak. How do you prosecute a journalist for repeating something said by a government official?

I'll take my answers on the PB.

I don't know ANYONE who has smoked crack. (Well, as far as I know, anyway.)

My neither. I know very little about other people's drug use at all, so I must be particularly square in this regard.

In his world, because it was already public knowledge. And/or because such laws don't apply to the right. I'm sure Novak was fighting terrorism.

Or it was without knowledge she was covert.

And does the law apply to civilians as well as gov't employees?

And, Sebby, there's a grand jury on it, with a special counsel appointed by Ashcroft. Who knows--Novak may yet get indicted.

Your wife told me that neither you nor the Pistons are ever going to score 124 times.

They've got four games, probably no more, to do it in though.

Mmmmmm, bacon. You are such a hot studly love-muffin, hank. fuck me now. fuck me like a whole team of pistons.

ETA who is this "Novak"? does he like bacon? is he coming over too? if it's a female (say, one of your wives), she is not invited.

You're not down with the "New Patriotism", are you?

Scooter Libby is the leak, and the little shit will find himself testifying soon enough. However, he's such a wanna be G. Gordon Liddy hardass that he'll go down in flames rather than cough up Cheney.

Tenet might be cutting out now to remove himself as a future target. He's the cat holding THE book contract of the next decade. But you'll never read it - he'll trade that ace for a fat gig at some oil company or defense contractor. Whitman? She was never even part of the Admin. She was a bone thrown to the few Rockefeller Republicans in the Northeast who cared enough to whine about how Bush was defiling the White House with white trash Jesus Nazis and oil whores. Whitman was a peanut for the housewives who thought they'd voted for a compassionate conservative. I like her, and its a testament to her that she ran screaming from the criminal administration presently ass-fucking the Constitution and testing novel geopolitical theories with American blood. Even if Bush's vision turns out to be correct, he'll be recalled as half-criminal. I see little difference between his regal rule and Nixon's nonsense - both thought they knew better than everybody else, so the ends justified the means.

I'm pulling for Nader in this one too.

I hate the Lakers, and even more Dyan Cannon and Billy Crystal and Jack Nicholson. The Pistons will never shake the Laimbeer/Mahorn/Isaiah Bad Boys image in my mind.

So I watched 21 Grams the other night, and now Benicio del Toro is now on my laminated list (didn't know I had one, didja?). After Paigow's question here a couple of weeks ago, I was also watching for Naomi Watts' nipples. I don't think it's so much that they're abnormally long, it's that they seem tenuously attached. It was almost as if Sean Penn sucked just a little harder, they would pop off. They looked more like oversized skin tags than actual nipples.

That's all.

This relates to a conversation I just had with another associate in the office. Without implicating yourself, how many people do you know who have smoked crack either during law school or during the years they are practicing law?


THank you all. Please participate in my biased survey.

Sunny, aren't you in the LA area? There's one semi-famous example around these parts, famous in the sense that the guy wrote a book about his law school crack-smoking experiences. Check out "Brush with the Law" at amazon.com by clicking on the lawtalkers link.
