Default Can someone please Decode this?

You went into jail in the summer. It is fall now. You will have stories to cover--Iraqi elections and suicide bombers, biological threats and the Iranian nuclear program. Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work---and life. Until then, you will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

This is part of the letter Written by Scooter Libby to Judith Miller. Anyone have any ideas?

a) Miller and Libby had vacationed in the same spot out west, which this is something of a reference to.

b) This is clearly a subtle way of Libby encouraging Miller to testify that they never spoke of Joe Wilson's wife (especially when other parts of the letter mention all other journalists have said the same thing, indicating to her that she could perjure herself without recrimination)

The question I have is whether this is enough to prove obstruction of justice.

Since all neo-cons are connected by their roots and grow in clusters, why pull the roots out of two neo-cons, when you can pull the roots out of only one (Karl Rove) and overall still have a healthier forest of (neo-cons) aspens.

I thought this was an interesting take.

Could you post the link to the Grand Jury testimony that made you come to that conclusion?

It's based off of your OP. You and Jedster came to different conclusions about the meaning of the "secret message." != beyond a reasonable doubt.

I never said anything about reasonable doubt. No one is even charged yet. Who knows maybe this guy is just a Walt Whitman?

Of course you are right that this is not enough evidence. Perhaps there is more evidence? Soon, we shall find out.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm shocked an appalled that Scooter isn't using the FoxNews 'homicide bombers'. Why does he hate America?
