Time to release reporter notes
Also today we have the fact that Time magazine is going to turn over reporter notes. While the journalists have refused to reveal their source their employer has caved.

I'm still wondering why Novak is running free and the press is getting fucked.

It's about time.
Looks like the MSM's smear of America will cost some one some time. Good!

Sorry for the OT post but this is important. A fine young patriot named Rusten Currie wants to run against Maxine Waters in the upcoming election. As I said, this is important. Waters is one of the best friends terrorists could have, and must be dealt with, and Rusten's the man for the job. Did I mention he's an OIF vet? Yeah, a real-life hero against a real-life traitor. It should be a fun campaign. Anyway, go, NOW!, and offer your support here: http://currierd.typepad.com/currie_for_congress/

Rod: You know, this is a double edged sword. Keeping sources confidential gives any reporter carte blanc to just make stuff up. We've seen what happened with NYT reporter Jayson Blair and how Dan Rather ran amok and now the fellow who "retyped" the alleged Downing Street memo. But, at the same time I understand that to be forced to reveal sources will dry up those sources. No one will come forward with what might be much needed information. So I have to say that I side with the reporters. We'll just have to use better investigative techniques than they do if we suspect any tom foolery.

They don't want to give up the good because it either names a lib as the leaker or, since in the beltway apparently everyone knew she was a spook, the "journalists" outed her.

Send Novak down to Aruba. Maybe a local Dutchman will slip him a roofie, ass rape him and then feed his bloated, pastie white body to the local crabs.

Dayam, OB! Agreed though. Osama made a good point. Why is Novak skating if they're so insistent on punishing a crime?
See, Osama? I'm not so unreasonable. Kiss, kiss.

Hahaha....*sticks ass in Oyster's face* Keep kissin'... Yeah, it does seem rather absurd that he's just chillin'. Those reporters aren't innocent either, but at least they have more of a right to expose/report the truth. I know...they don't do it that often, do they? I wish there was a value system in place to force the press to reveal sources and stick to fact. The same goes for politicians. I know Carlos, but let me dream away...

I'm gonna let that one slide, Osama, because it was much too juvenile to take seriously. Allow me to make peace without you getting snide. Show your benevolent side. I know you have it in you. You and I don't disagree on all that much.

Osama,
I told Collin he needs to have a serious talk with you. Youve managed to ingratiate yourself with the neocons. WTF?

Oyster: Ok, you're right. I do have a very nasty sense of humor. Don't let it get to you because we all need to laugh more and not be offended so easily.
Greg: Since my cell was activated, I was assigned to integrate into this blog and attack from within while making butt-loads of cash collecting email addresses to spam & scam. Yeah, right.

Also, been hearing that Rove is going to be confirmed as the main leaker...should be interesting to see what happens since Bush supposedly vowed to punish anyone in his administration if they were leaking classified info.
