I am confused about the Bush tapes, also about the journalists
who may go to jail.

First, Judith Miller of The New York Times and Matthew Cooper. It appears that Judith Miller did not write anything about the CIA leak, so why is she subpoenaed? Why isn't Novak who was the one that broke the story?

About the tapes. Earlier on CNN I heard as if the friend himself is upset that the tapes were leaked. That he is using them to write a book. How were they leaked?

1. I know- and then there is a gay hooker in the mix...
Dope? Blackmail? Gay pimps & shady media insiders?

Bush has turned the White House into a San Francisco bath house.

2. That's not all he has turned the white house into...
If the founding fathers had been able to look into the future and seen president bush and his cabinet, I wonder if they would have made evolution illegal.

5. I'll Try This One...
Keep things in seperate folders...for now.

Miller & Cooper are part of Fitzgerald's investigation into the Plame outing. While neither wrote something, they were contacted but refuse to say who contacted them...thus they may go to jail if they don't testify as to whom contacted them. Miller should go and rot as she's been a conduit for some of the worst mis-information and used the New York Times nameplate to do it.

Novak disclosed Plame's CIA cover, and how and what there is still part of Fitzgerald's probe...and only he knows. However if you look at the strings following "Gannon" to the Journalism school run by Morton Blackwell's "institute"...the $50 weekend deal...you'll see seminars were taught by reporters who work for Novak. Interesting connections that could use some more connecting.

This latest Bunnypants tape is a plant...another diversion by this regime to muddy up the news they don't want out there, and to see if people in "bloggerland" will feast on this rather than "Gannon" for a few days.

Wead had these tapes for years and knew the value of what they had to hurt his boss' credibility. If anything, my bets are is these tapes were going to come out and they got on top of the thing...this regime is very good at manufacturing its own news.

6. Perhaps the tapes are a sneaky way for Bush to subtlely admit to cocaine
& drug addiction while coming up with a good reason why he hasn't 'told the truth' in any interview so far.

They must have gotten tired of this cocaine issue being held over their heads and used to blackmail the President.

To slip a little bit of the truth in?:shrug:

That is if the whole thing keeps ringing as phony as it does today.
