Please. He’s responding to the issue at hand — which has been raised and chewed over and gnawed at by bloggers & acolytes from here to Kokomo.

Who have no way whatsoever of disproving Leopold’s reporting as long, that is, as long as Fitgerald can keep indictments under seal while possibly continuing to pursue new targets, new crimes, new testimony.

There may be apparently or possibly problematic elements that don’t seem to fit neatly with what we think we know, but the degree of speculation over this has been huge.

Leopold is obviously going to defend himself against what may be nervous-nellie, trigger-happy keyboardists.

The ridiculousness in taking Byron York’s and MArk Corallo’s word as disproving/discredtingn any way what Leopold has reported shows the egregiousness of this witch-hunting silliness.

There’s reason to be cautious, yes. And perhaps Leopold’s even being played by his sources. But to attack him without knowing his sources — at this level– is a bit much. Prove it if you can.

Why isn’t anybody wondering about the fact that the telcos had this information ready to gift wrap and hand to the feds? What uses are they putting it to themselves?

You should have trotted out your indignation and put it to use when the Echelon program was created.

Pitchforks… sheesh. Get a grip.

Put the corporate zaibatsus under the same level of scrutiny that you apply to the government and maybe you’ll get somewhere.

I’m suddenly reminded of the furor over the concept of a “National ID Card” that completely ignored the fact that all Americans (actually, make that all people who are registered wage earners in America) already have one. It’s called a Social Security Card.

The genie is out of the bottle and living large in a villa on Grand Cayman. Perhaps it’s time to get used to it.

Because there are so many outrages – - and have been from day one of this Criminal Regime – - how would you decide which outrage to march against.

Really, I don’t get my mind wrapped around one disaster before another one hits.

If there were one, identifiable, grand outrage, I think we could get the pitchforks organized.

I don’t think that swift boating applies to Rover’s situation, since Rover will be (or has been) indicted, that much I know. The “swifted” will have the last laugh – it is just a question of timing.

Although you can never discount the insanity option.

Thanks for posting here, anyway. It’s kinda like reading a book, but I don’t have to tear myself away from the computer ;)

There’s no reason to think that a), b), d), and f) can’t all be true, BTW.
