They should have to disclose that liason every time they report on the war.

I think this call may have been a bit early, we still need to get all the facts. Otherwise I love to hear you going at it with Hannity. Come on, you’re going after Russert now?

Unfortunately, he refuses to even comment on what he was asked about (my understanding is that witnesses are not sworn to secrecy), and of course the grand jury cannot comment on these things.
