from Salon.com today, re Judith Miller:

Suspicions that Miller had crossed an ethical line and grown too close to her sources increased after the waiver letter she received from Libby was disclosed. That letter ended with this bizarre, highly personal passage: "You went into jail in the summer. It is fall now. You will have stories to cover -- Iraqi elections and suicide bombers, biological threats and the Iranian nuclear program. Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work -- and life. Until then, you will remain in my thoughts and prayers. With admiration, Scooter Libby."

You went to jail in the summer
It is fall now-
You will have stories to cover,
(meter falls apart here)
Out West, where you vacation,
Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dust and shiver-
Ripe plums are falling-

That is a weird ass letter. From a man who calls himself Scooter.
