“And we can’t do our jobs without investigative reporting. That is, without going out and talking to people whom perhaps the government doesn’t want us to talk to, to give the public the full story, which is very much what Jana did and I tried to do.”






Their major problem is that most of us aren't as stupid as they obviously think we are.

“You went into jail in the summer. It is fall now. You will have stories to cover — Iraqi elections and suicide bombers, biological threats and the Iranian nuclear program. Out west, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work — to life.”


(My) Translation:

You went into jail in the summer. It is fall now: You'll be getting out of jail soon; stick it out because... You will have stories to cover — Iraqi elections and suicide bombers, biological threats and the Iranian nuclear program...and we're counting on your high-profile standing to deliver our neocon messaging when you get out. Don't blow it by naming any names. Out west, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work — to life: The neocon cabal has wined & dined you. They are deeply connected & will toe the line if they are betrayed. Don't talk -- & you'll live.
