Crime and Punishment excon 07/11/05

    Hello experts:

    I don’t understand something. Clear it up for me. There is a NY Times reporter in jail for refusing to name Karl Rove as her source. We KNOW Karl Rove was her source, so what’s the point of keeping her in jail? Is the point of her jailing to find out who her sources are, or to punish her for her arrogance?

    Karl Rove is the prick who should be in the slam. Robert Novak is a prick who should be in the slam. But, no, Judith Miller is in the slam, for what I don’t know.

    But, I’m sure you’ll tell me. By the way, I didn’t know arrogance was a crime. If it is, Dubya qualifies.

      if she is taking the rap ;it is self imposed .if it is the principle ;then I think she is misguided . do I think the prosecutor went overboard ;yes . But as I have said ;I do not think a reporters right to protect sources is absolute ;and I do not think it a Constitutional violation to compel she reveal them.

      Hello mytifine:

      How's this for a shift?

      Maybe you could tell me why half the Serbs don't believe there was a massacre in Severidnisca, in spite of recently released video showing that it, indeed, took place? Ok, I can't spell.

      It is SREBRENICA. That's a place in Bosnia where Serbs killed LOTS of people. Women and children as well.

      To answer your question: because they are nationalist idiots. That is (mostly) why I'm sitting my butt here and not there. Because I went through the same shit as my son is half American.

      Now you DO understand that your attempt on a cheap shot went to the wrong address?

      Sorry mytfine:

      I wasn't shooting cheaply. I really wanted to know. It had nothing to do with you, personally. I just figured you'de know. And you did.

      I sure do. I used to live in Sarajevo right after the war. And guess what? They bear no hard feelings towards the Serbs. Actually, us ordinary folks who weren't out there shooting. They are wise enough to know the difference.

      Wonderful people and such a shame what Serbs did to them...

      my mom used to make anual pilgrimages to Medagorje .She was there in 1992(I think) during the shelling of Dobrinja . They must be a great people to bear no hard feelings . People in the US do not realize that was a seige resembling World War II in intensity and length and brutality They would set fire on a residence and then take sniper shots at the folks trying to rescue the trapped ..
