Fitzgerald Bugged "Thousands" of Phone Calls in Recent Blago Probe [Byron York]
THE CORNER

Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has asked a court to give him a 90-day extension of the time allowed to secure an indictment against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. In a new filing, Fitzgerald reveals that he intercepted "thousands" of phone calls between late October and early December. He also says that "multiple witnesses have come forward in recent weeks to discuss their knowledge of criminal activity in relation to the ongoing investigation," and that there are "multiple defendants and potential defendants." Fitzgerald adds there are other reasons for his request, but says they must remain sealed. Also says that the overall Blago investigation began in "approximately 2003." If the court agrees, Fitzgerald will have until April 7 to indict.

Adventures in Analogy [Mark Steyn]

Alas, Dr Mohamed Elmasry, founder of the Canadian Islamic Congress, failed in his campaign to rid the Great White North of my hate speech, so he has now turned his attention to other targets — the Zionist stormtroopers:

>>> Many contemporary historians have aptly compared Gaza to the cramped and destitute Warsaw Ghetto of World War II.<<<

But those "contemporary historians" don't know the half of it:

>>> Gaza has, in fact, been reduced to a new Auschwitz: the only difference – a nightmarish irony — is that Jews are now playing the role of Hitler's ruthless SS.<<<

Er, right. And that would make Hamas the concentration camp guards?
