they seem to be like that old Monty Python skit where someone created the Joke That Killed on a scrap of paper.. everyone who read it died laughing, they even translated it into German to kill them all off..
Every Judge that reads them IMMEDIATELY gives Fitz whatever he wants.. "Uh How many REPORTERS do you want JAILED this Week, Sir?" sayeth the Judges :)
I suspect that it has to do with Brown & Jennings, that some people actually DIED after Novak outed them in his second article, or more about how Plame was ACTUALLY looking for WMD, or spying on the Saudis.. remember that Bush Co has long ties with BCCI, Aramco, etc as well..
That's what I think after a year of Research on this subject, and I even made a 2 set DVD film (which you can watch the trailer for at
http://www.takebackthemedia.com) called "Rove's War".. got it ALL there.. from the Feith/Ledeen,Franklin, Head of the Italian CIA (SISMI) meeting where the goddam FAKED Niger Forgeries came from, December of 2001 in Rome, after ROVE'S "plumbers" STOLE the letterheads from the Niger Embassy in Rome the year before, pretty much the same time that Bush was being sworn in..
Rove has stolen Letterheads before, as a young republican in Dixon's office in Chicago where he broke in, stole the letterheads and then created INVITATIONS to Dixon's office and then handed them all out at Soup Kitchens and in the Red light district..
From Prank to POWER, he's a one trick pony and I can show you HOW, WHERE, WHEN and WHY a LOT Of this happened in my film..
I'd LOVE to get a gander at those 8 pages.. judges just seem to act like Steve Martin in "The Jerk" (while he was rich), when the "cat Juggling" film was shown to him by the Spanish Priest - getting the checkbook out and writing, "Oh my god! Whatever you want, just take it, just take it and GO.." :)
