Cheney Asked Scooter to Leak First
According to National Journal, Former Chief of Staff to Dick "Go Fuck Yourself" Cheney, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, told the grand jury in the CIA leak case that Cheney "authorized" his leak of classified information to the media. Cheney ordered Libby to divulge classified National Intelligence Estimates (NIE) to the media to bolster the administration's case for war. Isn't leaking classified intelligence materials illegal? Treasonous?

The Times They Should Be A-Changin
Bloggers Request:
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the Times should be a-changin'.
Good Bye Sulzberger, Keller, and Miller!
Fitzgerald's response:
Come politician's, journalists
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the indictments they are a-comin'.
--Bob Dylan
Judy plans to write a book. Now that's a novel idea.
It certainly won't be based on facts.
