Perhaps won't be discussed much as it exists at the present moment.
However if a real story develops, one with teeth, not just suspicion,
there is not a force on earth that can keep it quiet.
It won't be a question of who publishes it-everyone will-but who
gets it first. The Washington Post, although it does not hate the
Bush Administration quite as much as the New York Times does, will
break the news in a heartbeat if only to scoop the Times..
