Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back To Minnesota

A few weeks ago Rachel Paulose and John Kelly (from main justice) secured a promise from the three senior attorneys and the senior administrator who revolted against her infant terrible routine that they wouldn't talk to the press. That promise wasn't seen by Paulose and Kelly as stopping them from unleashing "unnamed sources" against the Minneapolis four. I guess in loyal Bushie land loyalty only goes one way. Of course, the career guys have now formally complained. You can read their letter here.

Damn, the damage that can be done when newspapers print stories from unnamed sources. Both the New York Times and the Star Tribune should be ashamed.
