  1. Quoted post said:

    By Claudia Parsons
    NEW YORK (Reuters) - "Time Magazine said on Thursday it would comply with a court order to hand over subpoenaed records to a grand jury in a move that could spare one of its reporters jail over his refusal to reveal confidential sources.

    A judge on Wednesday gave Matthew Cooper of Time and Judith Miller of the New York Times one more week before deciding their sentence for refusing to reveal confidential sources to a grand jury investigating the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's name to the news media.

    The two cases involved an important test of the rights of reporters to refuse to identify their confidential sources as part of a federal criminal investigation.

    The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday let stand a ruling that the two journalists should be jailed for refusing to reveal their sources."

    This has the earmarks of Karl Rove all over it. He must have thought-"How can we get back at Ambassador Wilson for negating the British inspired, albeit explicitly erroneous, Nigerian, "yellow-cake" link to Iraq 😕 ", "I know, we'll rat his wife out, who happened to be an undercover CIA operative." I hope the Bush administration is burned &/or crucified for this high-crime against The State 😠

  2. Then give Bush's corporate revenue to green peace. No do that first, so he can see were his money is going then crucify him. No.....better yet give it all to npr.😠

  3. npr? isn't that national petroleum radio? soft and wimpy to the core.
    you want unbiased, unindebted to corporate sponsor radio? for news and expert commentary?
    free speech radio, check that out.
    and pacifica radio network.

    Rove's talks with Time writer may be a focus" :eek:

    The jailing of New York Times reporter Judith Miller on Wednesday put the issue of press freedom and the confidentiality of sources on front pages across the country, but the heart of the case remains what it has been from the outset: whether senior Bush officials broke the law in the disclosure of a CIA covert operative's identity.

    Special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has spent the better part of two years trying to answer that question, in a case that grew out of the angry debate over whether President Bush and his advisers hyped or falsified intelligence about weapons of mass destruction to justify going to war with Iraq in the spring of 2003. At issue is whether administration officials misused classified information to try to discredit one of their potentially most damaging critics.

    Now, a fast-moving series of decisions over the past week involving Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper have brought a renewed public focus on what role White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove may have played in disclosing the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame.

  5. In Plame leaks, long shadows

    Rove’s knowledge of CIA agent at odds with denial of role

    By Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen

    WASHINGTON - Karl Rove had a secret.

    In public, he was masterminding President Bush's reelection and brushing off suggestions he had played any part in an unfolding drama: the unmasking of CIA operative Valerie Plame. In private, the senior White House adviser was meeting, on five occasions, with federal prosecutors to tell what he knew about the matter.

    The story he would tell prosecutors did not seem to square with the White House's denial that it had played any role in one of the most famous leaks since Watergate. Rove told prosecutors he had discussed Plame in passing with at least two reporters, including the columnist who eventually revealed her name and role in a secret mission that would raise questions about Bush's case for war against Iraq. At the same time, other White House officials were whispering about Plame, too. 😠

    Some of these yuks will never bother to look at alternative and reputable sources, because they can't bear to see what's behind the curtain in the Land of Oz.

    ...or should I say rather: their Orwellian World?

    They, much like thier commander in chief, don't like to admit mistakes. I guess a court of law will have to bring the truth out.

  8. Mistakes indeed. From the Bush supporters I've talked and corresponded with, almost every single one can find an excuse or raison d'etre to cover their choice in politicians and their lies, war crimes, and impeachable offenses. Or, they simply ignore it as if the problems will go away on their own.

    "What good fortune for those in power that people do not think."

  9. Someone better answer for this outrage 😠
