I would say "better late than never," members of the Press, but the stonewalling lasted long enough to get George W. Bush re-elected.

Ziegler, however, publicly apologized to the Washington Post and Woodward and Bernstein when it was obvious that the jig was up as reported here, and he died with a clear conscience.

I commend to you John Dean's Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush. After I read that, I dug out my copy of his Blind Ambition and read it again. Uncanny.

When will the White House throw Rove to the wolves? Just 18 days ago, the White House was defending Rove's idiotic comments about how "liberals" wanted "therapy" for the 9/11 terrorists, also reported here. Congressman Tom DeLay (R-TX) came to Rove's defense, but that was quid pro quo because Rove came to DeLay's defense in April.

What is wrong with this picture: Judith Miller is in jail while Rove sits in the White House? Miller is a woman of conscience, willing to go to jail to protect a source. If that source was Rove the national security traitor, she might as well give him up because Time gave up Matthew Cooper's notes and Rove released Cooper from confidentiality. This was not a magnanimous gesture on his part: Time turned over Cooper's notes to the grand jury, so there was no point in Cooper going to jail, too.

One could infer from this scenario that her source is someone else.

We are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
