Alec Baldwin as Joe Wilson and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Rove. Richard Dreyfus as Cheney.
Does Dreyfus have a good sneer?
Based on Ms. Miller's account, and what she left out, everyone associated with Palme event is screwed beyond human imagination.
As my sources say:: "It's Bad."
Next, Scooter will ask to be identified as "a poor black boy from Alabama".
Atrios raises a good point: why did Arthur Sulzberger Jr. protect Little Judy Warmonger every step of the way?
The depth of his protect extended well beyond a reporter protecting his or her sources.
I wonder what ties to the Bush dynasty does Sulzberger have?
Dunno. I think he's got it in him. He's already played a sleazy right-winger in the American President. That was him right?
Happy Judy miller day at the eschaton!
it's better than hearinmg test tuesday and diorama-rama
I thought that smelled, too. She let it slide because he actually did work on the Hill at some point.
So it's factually true, but utterly dishonest.
What scum these people are!
Atrios has it right. When I worked in the MSM ethical reporters would give a source some form of cover but never deceptive cover,l which this was.
Judy is a journalistic whore. Any reporter who did that sort fo thing and was discovered should be fired.
"Does Dreyfus have a good sneer?"
Dreyfus has a great sneer. And a rosy glow.
JAne Seymour as Judy Wilson
No idea if Miller ever granted such a thing, but any reporter who ever did should be fired, along with their editors.
She never wrote a story. But she agreed to the deceptive sourcing, and for that, I suspect that Byron Calame may have already donned his hobnails to deliver a kicking.
Here's a question: have other NYT staffers engaged in similar, deceptive sourcing? Or was this a privilege granted to JFM on account of the fact that no-one told her what to do?
Scooter: Listen Judy, I have this kachina doll of anonymities. Now I would like to use the "former hill staffer" doll instead of the "senior administration official" doll.
Judy: That sounds fine. It's not like you can use all these dolls.

Alternative sourcing 101:

SO ALL THIS CRAP ABOUT PROTECTING SOURSES IS BULLSHIT.
IF THIS WAS RUSSIA JUDY WOULD BE WORKING FOR PRAVDA.
Sorry to shout, but the media is so stupid you have too.
Pardons all around for WHIG. And the press will just play it as olitics as usual.
'a former iraqi dictator'
'a former bank fraud felon in jordan'
"A former figure skater and concert pianist"
A former college dropout who got his wife pregnant to avoid the Vietnam draft.
What Miller has done is turn journalistic privilege inside out. This wasn't a case where an anonymous source had to remain anonymous because a job would be jeopardized, or something else endangered.
This case involves nothing like - and it should have been completely obvious to everyone that here the ones leaking are the bosses. They stand to lose nothing. They used her as a conduit to disseminate propaganda, basically.
This really has nothing to do with the First Amendment, except in a twisted sense. It has everything to do with the way the Right inverts everything and uses it in a backwards kind of way. And that's what they're doing here with the First Amendment and journalistic privilege.
' a former Enron CEO'
Wow, USC's decision not to have instant replay may well have cost them the game. I thought it might when I heard.

Revealing her working methods, perhaps too clearly,
As I said downstairs, anyone who has an itch and a possible basis for suing JFM's NYT over a published piece should do so. The newspaper of record clearly maintains no standards of note keeping or source tracking.
Critics have long suggested that Miller was not even working on a story about the Joseph Wilson trip to Niger when she talked to Libby and others in 2003. But the Times' article reveals that she had been assigned to write a story about the failure to find WMDs in Iraq, but this was her beat, so it's hard to understand why she would need an assignment. In any case, in talking to Libby on June 23, 2003, he wanted to talk about Wilson.
Shout out to Greg Mitchell at E&P. Thanks for your piece.
You're right sally...reporting a hot scoop that is nothing more that propoganda that the Administration wants to steer the public away from the truth.

No, not at all. I have no real rooting interest other than perhaps rooting against USC because they've got such a streak going.
It was a hell of a football game.
Also, further down in the article, she granted his request that if she used his information, to refer to him as "an administration official", which would be fucking anyone of about 200,000 people.
So she, on three separate occasions, grants his request that he be named as something other than WHO is is, I Lewis Libby, and on two of those occasions, she grants his request to be identified as something other than WHAT he is, namely a senior White House official and on one occasion, she grants his request to not only be identified as something other that either who, or what he is, but even what branch of government he works for, in a deliberate attempt to perpetrate a fraud on the public.
Even though she never wrote a story about this matter, she quite clearly AGREED to grant the request he made to be identified as a former capitol hill staffer, having no problem with this whatsoever, because he once worked on the Hill. It doesn't matter that a fraud is being perpetrated here and she has now agreed to commit that fraud and participate in it.
Of course Atrios is right. She should be fucking fired.

I must say, I'm getting a little skeptical about that 9.7 IMDb rating. This doesn't deserve better than an 8.1, tops.
When the subject turned to Mr. Wilson, Mr. Libby requested that he be identified only as a "former Hill staffer."
So much for the defense that's been floated about just wanting to give background information to reporters, rather than actually generating an article.
Candidate Sleeps In City Limits
A candidate for Glen Alpine town mayor is being challenged about whether he actually lives in the town limits...
Greer Suttlemyre, director of elections for the Burke County Board of Elections, said the town limits line runs through Suttles home that he has lived in for nearly 20 years.
Suttlemyre said, according to a general statute, the determination will be made based on where Suttles sleeps. And Suttles said his bedroom where he sleeps is located in the town limits. He said almost two-thirds of his home is located within the town limits, the town picks up his trash and a town light pole is in his yard.
Suttles said he got a letter Thursday informing him his candidacy was being challenged. But Suttles is ready for the challenge, which he believes boils down to dirty politics. Suttles has been a fireman for the town for years.
"When they ask me to do something they don't ask me where I live," Suttles said. "When I get called out of the bed in the middle of the night to put out a fire, they don't ask me where I live."
He said he wants to be mayor of the town in order to get the town on the right track. Even though his candidacy has been challenged, he has not stopped campaigning.
"I don't want to throw no dirt but if they want to play dirty I'll back my truck up," Suttles said.
Christine Abernathy and Michael Cook also are running for mayor of Glen Alpine.

The fact that Miller isn't just humilliated by her WMD performance and still used Chalabi for a source and doesn't feel betrayed by Libby, can only mean one thing.
She does not care what the truth is.
She's a willing participant in disinformation/propaganda with the usual justification of a higher purpose.
In other words, she's part of an effort that is more (or less) than just being a good reporter and actually makes it irrelavant.

hey, doesn't this all mean there's a critical need for a 'blogger's ethics' symposium?
As linked to in the comments at FDL: Martini Republic Judith Miller, Times editors source like third-rate bloggers.
"She does not care what the truth is."
It's worse then that. The NYT's doesn't care, either. They kept her employed because of her access to power. The truth, or lack of it, was not considered important.

Thanks, Monica. I enjoyed this tidbit in Martine Republic:
And when the prosecutor in the case asked her to explain how “Valerie Flame” appeared in the same notebook she used in interviewing Mr. Libby, Ms. Miller said she “didn’t think” she heard it from him. “I said I believed the information came from another source, whom I could not recall,” she wrote on Friday, recounting her testimony for an article that appears today.
I could leak stuff to Judy Miller and she could call me "a former elementary school student".

The Commerce Department has responded to a half-year-old request by Manufacturing and Technology News for the release a long-awaited study on the issue of "offshore outsourcing" of IT service-sector jobs and high-tech industries. But the 12-page document represented by the agency as its final report is not what was written by its analysts. Rather, it was crafted by political appointees at Commerce and at the White House, according to those familiar with it.
At an estimated cost of $335,000 -- or $28,000 per page -- the document MTN received from the Commerce Department's Technology Administration contains no original research and forsakes its initial intent of providing a balanced view of outsourcing, according to those inside and outside the agency.

Rice Fails to Persuade Russia to Support U.N. Action on Iran

Published: October 16, 2005
MOSCOW, Oct. 15 - Russia's leaders told Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Saturday that they did not support sending the issue of Iran's nuclear program to the United Nations Security Council, and they reaffirmed their view that Iran had the legal right to enrich uranium.
The statements, by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and others, were a sharp setback for Ms. Rice's efforts to reach a consensus on Iran's nuclear program. The Iranians "have this right" to enrich uranium under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Mr. Lavrov said at joint news conference with Ms. Rice, who flew here on short notice for consultations on Iran and other issues before heading to London.

Dow Jones newswire take on NYT investigation of itself & Mrs Chalabi:
NEW YORK (AP)--In a lengthy article posted Saturday on The New York Times' (NYT) Web site, the newspaper marked the second time in 2 1/2 years it has published an investigation of itself.
The article was the newspaper's first behind-the-scenes look at the information provided its reporter, Judith Miller, by Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff and how it landed her behind bars for 85 days.
The last time the newspaper conducted and wrote such a self-examination of its reporting and publishing process, it tackled the 2003 Jayson Blair plagiarism and fraud debacle.
Times Managing Editor Jill Abramson, asked what she regretted about the Times' handling of the Miller case, replied simply: "The entire thing."
Miller defended herself in the piece, saying the paper had "everything to be proud of and nothing to apologize for."
Shortly after tasting freedom for the first time in nearly three months, Miller went for a massage and a manicure. She enjoyed a martini, a steak dinner and the fresh air.
That was the easy part. The once-jailed reporter's subsequent return to the paper's 43rd Street newsroom, where she was viewed as a polarizing figure, was fraught with anxiety. She found her co-workers "confused and perplexed" about her jail term for protecting a Bush administration source, and about her paper's apparent inability to rein in the Pulitzer Prize- winner, according to a pair of articles - the newspaper's investigation, and Miller's own account of her role in the case.
Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is investigating whether crimes were committed when Bush administration officials leaked the identity of covert Central Intelligence Agency officer Valerie Plame to reporters. Plame's covert status was exposed at a time when her husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, was charging that the White House manipulated intelligence about Iraq's nuclear capabilities before the war.
Miller, 57, was released Sept. 29 after being jailed for her steadfast refusal to identify the source of the leaked information. After getting the source's direct approval, she finally identified him as I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Cheney's chief of staff.
In her separate first-person piece on the Times' Web site, however, she said she testified before a grand jury that she could not recall if Libby was the source who told her about "Valerie Flame," as the name appeared in her notebook.
"Mr. Fitzgerald asked me about another entry in my notebook, where I had written the words "Valerie Flame," clearly a reference to Ms. Plame. Mr. Fitzgerald wanted to know whether the entry was based on my conversations with Mr. Libby. I said I didn't think so. I said I believed the information came from another source, whom I could not recall," she wrote.

Dow Jones wire on Mrs Chalabi, part 2:
The Times' companion story portrayed Miller as a divisive figure in the newsroom, with a few colleagues refusing to work with her. She was quoted as once telling a colleague, "I can do whatever I want."
Along with the freedom came problems. Miller's articles about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in the months before the war were "totally wrong," she acknowledged in one of the stories posted Saturday. Previously, the Times had published an editor's note criticizing some of its prewar coverage, which avoided specifically naming Miller.
Todd S. Purdum, a Washington-based reporter for the newspaper, said many on the staff were "troubled and puzzled by Judy's seeming ability to operate outside of conventional reportorial channels and managerial controls."
The article noted that editors "found her hard to control," and that the paper's management allowed Miller to make many of the major decisions in the Plame case herself. For example, it said, Executive Editor Bill Keller and Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. never reviewed the notes of her crucial conversation with Libby.
Recent stories indicated morale in the Times newsroom was lower than during the Blair fiasco, which led to the resignation of Executive Editor Howell Raines. The Times story pointed out that the paper was scooped on the Miller story more than once, and that Keller - who knew the source's identity - kept it from his own reporters.
While in the Alexandria Detention Center, Miller wrote that her only view of the outside world was a maple tree and a concrete highway barrier visible through a concrete slit in her cell. More than 100 friends and colleagues made jailhouse visits, including U.N. ambassador John Bolton and former NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw.
Miller, one of a team of Times reporters that won a 2002 Pulitzer for coverage of the Middle East, was in Los Angeles Saturday at a California First Amendment Coalition event to present an award to perhaps the most famous confidential source ever - W. Mark Felt, the former FBI official known as "Deep Throat." She declined to say anything beyond what appeared in the Times' stories.
Although the paper was resolute in its support of Miller, championing its reporter in more than 15 editorials, Keller acknowledged in the Times' lengthy piece that it was a less-than-ideal case for their efforts.
"I wish it had been a clear-cut whistle-blower case," he was quoted as saying. "I wish it had been a reporter who came with less public baggage."
As the paper observed, "Neither The Times nor its cause has emerged unbruised."
Say what you will about Cindy Sheehan, one thing is for sure.

Having read Judy's lengthy article, I hope she's seeking treatment for early-onset Alzheimer's. It's surprising how far she has advanced in a career largely predicated on a memory for history, facts, personalities, and "the big picture," given that she seemed barely able to recall her own name.
Is there even a possibility that she's not just lying her ass off?

It's Bush-Cheney, Not Rove-Libby
By FRANK RICH
Published: October 16, 2005
THERE hasn't been anything like it since Martha Stewart fended off questions about her stock-trading scandal by manically chopping cabbage on "The Early Show" on CBS. Last week the setting was "Today" on NBC, where the image of President Bush manically hammering nails at a Habitat for Humanity construction site on the Gulf Coast was juggled with the sight of him trying to duck Matt Lauer's questions about Karl Rove.
As with Ms. Stewart, Mr. Bush's paroxysm of panic was must-see TV. "The president was a blur of blinks, taps, jiggles, pivots and shifts," Dana Milbank wrote in The Washington Post. Asked repeatedly about Mr. Rove's serial appearances before a Washington grand jury, the jittery Mr. Bush, for once bereft of a script, improvised a passable impersonation of Norman Bates being quizzed by the detective in "Psycho." Like Norman and Ms. Stewart, he stonewalled.

That stonewall may start to crumble in a Washington courtroom this week or next. In a sense it already has. Now, as always, what matters most in this case is not whether Mr. Rove and Lewis Libby engaged in a petty conspiracy to seek revenge on a whistle-blower, Joseph Wilson, by unmasking his wife, Valerie, a covert C.I.A. officer. What makes Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation compelling, whatever its outcome, is its illumination of a conspiracy that was not at all petty: the one that took us on false premises into a reckless and wasteful war in Iraq. That conspiracy was instigated by Mr. Rove's boss, George W. Bush, and Mr. Libby's boss, Dick Cheney.
Mr. Wilson and his wife were trashed to protect that larger plot. Because the personnel in both stories overlap, the bits and pieces we've learned about the leak inquiry over the past two years have gradually helped fill in the über-narrative about the war. Last week was no exception. Deep in a Wall Street Journal account of Judy Miller's grand jury appearance was this crucial sentence: "Lawyers familiar with the investigation believe that at least part of the outcome likely hangs on the inner workings of what has been dubbed the White House Iraq Group."
Very little has been written about the White House Iraq Group, or WHIG. Its inception in August 2002, seven months before the invasion of Iraq, was never announced. Only much later would a newspaper article or two mention it in passing, reporting that it had been set up by Andrew Card, the White House chief of staff. Its eight members included Mr. Rove, Mr. Libby, Condoleezza Rice and the spinmeisters Karen Hughes and Mary Matalin. Its mission: to market a war in Iraq.
Of course, the official Bush history would have us believe that in August 2002 no decision had yet been made on that war. Dates bracketing the formation of WHIG tell us otherwise. On July 23, 2002 - a week or two before WHIG first convened in earnest - a British official told his peers, as recorded in the now famous Downing Street memo, that the Bush administration was ensuring that "the intelligence and facts" about Iraq's W.M.D.'s "were being fixed around the policy" of going to war. And on Sept. 6, 2002 - just a few weeks after WHIG first convened - Mr. Card alluded to his group's existence by telling Elisabeth Bumiller of The New York Times that there was a plan afoot to sell a war against Saddam Hussein: "From a marketing point of view, you don't introduce new products in August."
Well hurry the hell up, Melissa'll be home soon!
It's all up to the threadbot. Sorry, but taking advantage of you on this thread would be OT and wholly inappropriate.

The official introduction of that product began just two days later. On the Sunday talk shows of Sept. 8, Ms. Rice warned that "we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud," and Mr. Cheney, who had already started the nuclear doomsday drumbeat in three August speeches, described Saddam as "actively and aggressively seeking to acquire nuclear weapons." The vice president cited as evidence a front-page article, later debunked, about supposedly nefarious aluminum tubes co-written by Judy Miller in that morning's Times. The national security journalist James Bamford, in "A Pretext for War," writes that the article was all too perfectly timed to facilitate "exactly the sort of propaganda coup that the White House Iraq Group had been set up to stage-manage."
The administration's doomsday imagery was ratcheted up from that day on. As Barton Gellman and Walter Pincus of The Washington Post would determine in the first account of WHIG a full year later, the administration's "escalation of nuclear rhetoric" could be traced to the group's formation. Along with mushroom clouds, uranium was another favored image, the Post report noted, "because anyone could see its connection to an atomic bomb." It appeared in a Bush radio address the weekend after the Rice-Cheney Sunday show blitz and would reach its apotheosis with the infamously fictional 16 words about "uranium from Africa" in Mr. Bush's January 2003 State of the Union address on the eve of war.
Oh, I'm sure that wasn't Tobes. Completely out of character. Way to erudite.

That one is a bit suspicious
Rich (cont.)
Throughout those crucial seven months between the creation of WHIG and the start of the American invasion of Iraq, there were indications that evidence of a Saddam nuclear program was fraudulent or nonexistent. Joseph Wilson's C.I.A. mission to Niger, in which he failed to find any evidence to back up uranium claims, took place nearly a year before the president's 16 words. But the truth never mattered. The Bush-Cheney product rolled out by Card, Rove, Libby & Company had been bought by Congress, the press and the public. The intelligence and facts had been successfully fixed to sell the war, and any memory of Mr. Bush's errant 16 words melted away in Shock and Awe. When, months later, a national security official, Stephen Hadley, took "responsibility" for allowing the president to address the nation about mythical uranium, no one knew that Mr. Hadley, too, had been a member of WHIG.
It was not until the war was supposedly over - with "Mission Accomplished," in May 2003 - that Mr. Wilson started to add his voice to those who were disputing the administration's uranium hype. Members of WHIG had a compelling motive to shut him down. In contrast to other skeptics, like Mohamed ElBaradei of the International Atomic Energy Agency (this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner), Mr. Wilson was an American diplomat; he had reported his findings in Niger to our own government. He was a dagger aimed at the heart of WHIG and its disinformation campaign. Exactly who tried to silence him and how is what Mr. Fitzgerald presumably will tell us.
It's long been my hunch that the WHIG-ites were at their most brazen (and, in legal terms, reckless) during the many months that preceded the appointment of Mr. Fitzgerald as special counsel. When Mr. Rove was asked on camera by ABC News in September 2003 if he had any knowledge of the Valerie Wilson leak and said no, it was only hours before the Justice Department would open its first leak investigation. When Scott McClellan later declared that he had been personally assured by Mr. Rove and Mr. Libby that they were "not involved" with the leak, the case was still in the safe hands of the attorney general then, John Ashcroft, himself a three-time Rove client in past political campaigns. Though Mr. Rove may be known as "Bush's brain," he wasn't smart enough to anticipate that Justice Department career employees would eventually pressure Mr. Ashcroft to recuse himself because of this conflict of interest, clearing the way for an outside prosecutor as independent as Mr. Fitzgerald.

______________
NTodd, I agree, I think those posts were all copy/pasted from someplace else.
Well, he hasn't been here since. I've got my fingers crossed.
Rich (cont.)
"Bush's Brain" is the title of James Moore and Wayne Slater's definitive account of Mr. Rove's political career. But Mr. Rove is less his boss's brain than another alliterative organ (or organs), that which provides testosterone. As we learn in "Bush's Brain," bad things (usually character assassination) often happen to Bush foes, whether Ann Richards or John McCain. On such occasions, Mr. Bush stays compassionately above the fray while the ruthless Mr. Rove operates below the radar, always separated by "a layer of operatives" from any ill behavior that might implicate him. "There is no crime, just a victim," Mr. Moore and Mr. Slater write of this repeated pattern.
THIS modus operandi was foolproof, shielding the president as well as Mr. Rove from culpability, as long as it was about winning an election. The attack on Mr. Wilson, by contrast, has left them and the Cheney-Libby tag team vulnerable because it's about something far bigger: protecting the lies that took the country into what the Reagan administration National Security Agency director, Lt. Gen. William Odom, recently called "the greatest strategic disaster in United States history."
Whether or not Mr. Fitzgerald uncovers an indictable crime, there is once again a victim, but that victim is not Mr. or Mrs. Wilson; it's the nation. It is surely a joke of history that even as the White House sells this weekend's constitutional referendum as yet another "victory" for democracy in Iraq, we still don't know the whole story of how our own democracy was hijacked on the way to war.
End.

Fats Domino returns home to New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Rock 'n' roll pioneer
Fats Domino, who was missing for days after Hurricane Katrina, returned home on Saturday to load some of his muddied gold records into the trunk of a car.
Sporting a white captain's hat, gold chain and black galoshes, Domino had a laugh at tributes worried fans had spray-painted on his house after assuming he had died in the storm.
"There was a big 'Rest in Peace' on my balcony on the other house," the 77-year-old musician said with a laugh. "I'm still here, thank God. I'm alive and kicking."
Outside the bright yellow headquarters of Fats Domino Publishing, Domino's son-in-law, Charles Brimmer, helped the musician load mementos from his legendary career into the car.
Told only three of his 21 gold records -- "Rose Mary," "I'm Walkin'," and "Blue Monday" -- had been found, Domino said, "Well, somebody got the rest of them."
"Or they may be floating around here somewhere," Brimmer suggested.

Gonna HAVE to get up reasonably early tomorrow to catch the Sunday shows. When do they start, usually, in Eastern time? (The TV's never on that early here.)
...protecting the lies that took the country into what the Reagan administration National Security Agency director, Lt. Gen. William Odom, recently called "the greatest strategic disaster in United States history."
Everyone talks about the hit to the intelligence community.
The military has taken an even bigger hit in terms of deaths, seriously wounded troops (physically and mentally), and decreased enlistments.
And then go to Fry's to get my laptop serviced.
Sallyh, Madame Poissoniere
Are they as horrible out there as they are here in Texas? Man, Fry's is one attitudinous store. They'vs copmpletely fenced off the houston store, shrunk the parking slots down to motorcycle size, reserved half the nearest slots to....no, not Handicap, the Police!?...and inside the store, it's even worse. I finally gave up on 'em, and I buy from Directron.com now. I bought a new drive Thursday evening, and it was at my house Friday afternoon. That's service. (I don't live in Houston, where the store/warehouse is).
And no fucking rebates, either...
Corrente is right, the NY Times has never mentioned the White House Iraq Group. Wonder why not?

HI! Did you get a day off from the salt mines?
Prior A .. Hello. You will not believe this (or maybe you will) but they told us yesterday that we might have to work SATURDAYS, too. I said, "No thanks" and it was very controversial that I refused, but I think it emboldened some others to refuse, too. I cannot work seven days a week. I just can't do it.

and this b***h is getting a "First Amendment Award" on the 18th from the Society of (cough cough) Professional Journalists...
http://www.spj.org/news.asp?ref=526
New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who was jailed 85 days for refusing to reveal the source who disclosed the identity of undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame, will speak to participants of the 2005 SPJ Convention & National Journalism Conference at 8:15 a.m., Oct. 18. in Las Vegas.
Miller, who also will receive a First Amendment Award, will then join a panel discussion titled "The Reporter's Privilege Under Siege." Joining Miller on the panel is Associated Press reporter Josef Hebert, Patricia Hurtado of Newsday, and Bruce Sanford of Baker and Hostetler law firm.
Miller's speech is scheduled for 8:15 to 9 a.m. in Grand Ballroom 4 at the Aladdin Hotel and Casino. The panel discussion will follow from 9 to 9:45 a.m.
For information about covering this program, contact Julie Grimes, Deputy Executive Director, Society of Professional Journalists, at (317) 431-3785

As for Bush's nation building in the Middle East...I find it Iran-aq.
No pun threads! I'm Syria-s.
Judy's mistake on Valerie Plame's name seems to me to be more likely to have been because she saw the name rather than heard it. This meeting on June 23 was in the EOB where Scooter and his boss have offices. Fitzgerald asked about any papers Scooter showed her and she referred to something he pulled out of his pocket - he's in his office and he's carrying around secret documents in his pocket? Among other obfuscations in her article, it's not clear which meeting involved papers.
Everything in this article sounds like her attorney wrote it with an eye toward perjury. "My notes indicate", "I told Mr. Fitzgerald"... For her to say that she doesn't recall who first "told" her may be literally true if she first saw the name on paper.
"I was a top-secret government official!"
"who would give her a job now? I'm sure even the wingnuts media wont touch her now

Hmm. Well, it's possible that the RCA electronics are simply not as well isolated as your other TVs', so it's more susceptible to RFI. Weird thing is that most digital cellular uses lower power, so I would expect it to be less likely to interfere with other devices--or are you in an analog cell?

No it's digital, and the TV's only about 3 years old, so I'm puzzled as to why there is so much interference. I didn't have any problems with my old Nokia crap phone.

Our Food section in the newspaper (which is disgustingly yuppified) published a short, simple
soup recipe that an Omnivore will love.
Serves up great with Cornbread. Add Parmesan Cheese or a dollop of sour cream if you need something stronger:
1-2 Tbls Virgin olive oil
med onions- finely chopped
I lg red sweet capsicum, finely chopped
4 plump garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 (15oz) cans vegetable broth
2 (15oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbls Balsamic vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Saute the finely chopped veggies in the Oil in a large saucepan until golden, about 8 minutes.
Add the garlic and cumin and fry until fragrant, stirring frequently; about 1-2 minutes.
Add vegetable broth and beans, Stir. Bring to a boil and simmer, stiring occasionally, about ten
minutes. Ladle out a cup of bean mixture into a shallow bowl, and puree with a potato masher or coarse whisk for a minute or so- add Balsamic vinegar and return to soup; Bring gently to a boil, stir, and serve.

when you see georgie biting his cheek, exhibiting the squirming of a 6 year old, you are watching the individual who is terrified that the mossad is going to reveal his homosexuality. if he refrains from killing more iraqis, syrians, iranians...more muslims.
