Our favorite killer pimp in the State Dept. may soon be back in the headlines, as it appears he fibbed to
Patrick Fitzgerald. Tsk. So many scandals percolating under the crust - which ones will flume up in the
public print? Crap shoot, but watch for Armitage's snake eyes on the front page. It would be a pleasure
to see this much-decorated assassin squirm in the same media limelight that has raised him above the level of
vermin. Oh, yeah, almost forgot: Judith Miller now says she received a prior warning re 9/11. 
Kept it to herself ...

Mid-Day Update: Judy Miller Seeks Redemption
by Steve Soto
Judy Kneepads of all people told AlterNet today that she was tipped off before the Fourth of July in 2001
of an impending Al Qaeda strike against America by someone high up in the national security establishment
(Richard Clarke?), but never wrote a story on the tip for the Times.

During this afternoon's closed session confirmation hearing for General Michael Hayden, do you think any
Democrat would have the guts or the memory to ask Hayden point blank if he ever has given NSA intercepts
to John Bolton, and why?

James Sensenbrenner claims that the harsh House GOP immigration bill was actually written to address
George W. Bush's demands last fall, before he, uh, flip-flopped.
>From the "For What It's Worth" Department, you know that there has been concern within the center-left
blogosphere about Jason Leopold's work in the Plame case, wherein Leopold has claimed that Rove was
actually served with indictments last Friday. 

Leopold's editor at Truthout.org, Mark Ash wrote this defense of Leopold yesterday, standing behind their
story and adding some new details that he claims are soon to come out. Wayne Madsen has now come out and
independently made similar claims, that an indictment is imminent as early as tomorrow. Take it for what
it's worth. Steve Clemons also reports that Patrick Fitzgerald may have former State Number Two Richard
Armitage in his sights as someone who lied about his contacts with the media surrounding the Plame case.
