Wow.
Brother, with all due respect, how big is that rock you live under?

From memory, he outed an undercover CIA operative. Outed=blown cover. There is more to the story, but i am sleepy, and can't remember.

Wow, you people do live under rocks.

He outed an undercover CIA operative who's husband had been a vocal critic of the war in Iraq.  The are other circumstances to it though, including hints that maybe the VP told him to, he shouldn't have had access to the identity, and that he was railroaded for political reasons to smear Bush's organization.

He's getting some fairly unreasonable sentance if I remember right, and there's been a lot of speculation about Bush pardoning him.

Sounds like a nice place.  Are there any BIG rocks there?

Hmm ... yes, but nothing worth while to do bouldering on, let alone rock climb.

If you went across the valley to the other side of Beegum Gorge to Black Butte you might be able to find something worth while though.  Undecided

Burning him at the steak may be a little too harsh.  After all, the steak didn't do anything to deserve being burned with him.   Undecided

Is there somewhere I can hide for the next 4 years?
