Right now, two reporters for might be going to jail for not revealing a source. Unfortunately, when using anonymous sources in federal investigations, that's a danger you run into. It sucks. All this stems from a Bob Novak column revealing the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame because her husband, diplomat Joseph Wilson ticked off the administration when he wouldn't follow the company line on the Iraq war.

Recently, the administration doctored a couple of NOAA reports on global warming and passed it off as the real thing. Senators Harry Reid and Frank Lautenberg called for the GAO too investigate the Bush administration official who made the changes. Cooney, an oil lobbyist for the American Petroleum Institute before he worked for Bush and now the scandal happened and he's going to Exxon Mobile.

What kind of precedent does this set for the Bush administration and what does it say about them. If you follow our instructions, even if you catch heat, we've got you covered. I can buy this. It happens a lot. But, when you don't follow the company line, we jeopardize the lives of your family. I think that's absolutely brilliant.

It shows us what type of gits we've got running this country. And it's unfortunate.

In other news, the Fletcher administration digs itself in deeper as Stumbo's investigation expands.

Also, if I actually have any readers, Tom Barlow, a Democrat in the first district and Lt. Ronald Leach, a 21 year Army man and Democrat, completing his 3rd tour in Iraq and from Hardinsburg in the 2nd district both announced they would be seeking their respective U.S. Congress seats. We need to give them all the support we can. The Republicans need to go.
