The DOJ pursues the "real criminal" in the NSA spying scandal

While the high-level lawbreakers are protected from consequences by our political class, only the courageous whistle-blower is subject to criminal prosecution.

    I Got Questions

    All, perhaps, naive.

    1. GG you have always leveled a stake in the heart of Beltway/MSM/Sunday pundits and I applaud you for that. Still, doesn't the NYT owe Tamm something? Maybe not as truthful as your diary, but couldn't they print something about Tamm's trial? Yeah, I know the answer - life sucks and so does the NYT, a lot of the time.

    2. If we ever get over the Holder nomination (which may be never, given Rove and Spector), will the new DOJ continue to prosecute Tamm? But Mukasey will be gone, no?

    3. Cass Sunstein? Didn't he just marry Samantha Power? And doesn't she still advise Obama (informally,of course), who voted for the FISA bill?

    4. No, I didn't know about Lichtblau's book until you linked to it (and I try to keep informed). So, could a writer, better informed than I, pen a letter to the editor to the NYT, WaPo, LA Times - fer chrissakes (digby) even HuffPo. OK, how about KO or Maddow? How do we get this out to the non-reality based community? Or the real world, most of whom do not have the luxury to keep informed.

    Going back to drinking.
