prosecutors should have gone for it. Particularly as astroturfing Bush

having revealed dodgy-goings on in the "war on terror".
It probably wasn't Bush who did the leaking, after all, isn't this
administration built around "plausible deniability"? Did Tricky Dicky
ever die? It's like his zombie-werewolf-ghost stalks the Whitehouse.
I smell a presidential pardon in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...
