About those turning aspens...Is this the message?
It's harder to Baxterize the whole bunch if they turn in a cluster. Know what I mean? The only safety for the medium-sized fish is for the whole school of them to turn away from the big fish, all at the same time.

Maybe Libby was saying "We're all together on this, we're all turning together. Come join us, and you will be able to come back to (a long and healthy) life."

Maybe Rove is gonna tell some very interesting stories today. We won't know, of course, until the GJ closes up shop.

1. what did Ole Ben say?
"either we hang together, or we are sure to hang separately"
or something along those lines - right about the time that the Declaration of Independence was drafted.

2. Sounds More Plausible.
And makes sense. Good call Jackpine. Hope you're right.

3. I'd love to be a fly on the wall

in that Grand Jury Room...

About Libby's letter to Miller:

I suspect that Libby and Miller had some type of "romantic" (code word: SEXUAL)relationship and the Aspen reference was to remind her of that relationship which would imply that the relationship could either a)continue, or b) be used as blackmail. In either case it was meant to keep her silent on certain issues.

Okay, okay, okay.....I know, I've got a devious, suspicious and dirty :blush: mind.

4. It is also a reference to a recent meeting in Aspen Colorado
of the uber-rich and 'journalists' like Bob Novak, where apparently bashing Bush was very much in vogue. Apparently, Karl Rove showed up and spouted all kinds of crazy stuff.

5. Rove loves * too much to turn on him. And I do mean LOVES.

He will implicate everyone else under the sun before he turns in his beloved Georgie-boy.

6. Whoa, I think you've got it, Jackpine
I am so not surprised to see you wittle something so obscure down to something so plausible.

So do you think this means they've made a lot of deals or that they've had enough time to trump up a story that gets them off?
