I want you to comment. There are a lot of points I brought up and questions I asked of you directly that remain unanswered, and I'm curious what your thoughts are on them.

A quick update:
Valerie Plame's lawsuit dismissed

U.S. District Judge John D. Bates dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds and said he would not express an opinion on the constitutional arguments. Bates dismissed the case against all defendants...
