Dave:

Let me get this straight.  The President is not guilty of violating  
the law
by ordering wire taps, because they are "legal" given some  
understanding of
Congress' Iraq resolution.  But, the NYT might be guilty of treason for
divulging the, presumably legal, actions of the President.

22 years later than Orwell predicted.
