as we all know, game of shadows is based on ILLEGALLY LEAKED TESTIMONY.

i dunno bout you, but i think the fact that the testimony, that legally is supposed to be kept in that room, was leaked is far worse than some of the testimony being false.

people tend to ignore these facts, and with good reason. if testimony is so important to the u.s. justice system, then where is niss/oski's outrage over illegally leaked testimony and the concept of privacy?

Well, for starters, the question never had to be asked. The reporters took their medicine and but for the fact the person who leaked the information came forward, they would have done time. I can't really think of a supportable argument in favor of allowing one to break the law to leak sealed testimony, thus no issue here.

Another interesting thing: This whole argument has been framed as if "the government" hates Bonds and is getting him because he soiled the national pasttime, or whatever. I would venture to guess, that the actual people making decisions on this are just as divided (on a human level/sports fan level) as us people here on this forum. I can easily imagine them all standing around the water cooler and talking about this steroids thing is a bunch of b.s., or whatever. They are prisoners of their department policies and really are just doing their jobs.

By the way, I am quite sure there are many cases like this that take years to develop and many resources to carry out ... the people in question, just are not as famous as Barry Bonds.
