Anyone know when the Sopranos returns. I am hoping in January because unlike our fearless leader, "Hawaii Bill" some of us still need some distractions in winter and many of us cant dance worth a lick.

Many, What they do in the real CSIs are serious matters, and I like to see all of the techniques, and technology, that they use these days. It was only the early 20th century that they found out how vital finger prints were to identify a criminal, and now, with DNA analysis, and the machinery they have, it boggles my mind.

I read in Parade magazine that comes with the Sunday paper, the she will not return to the series. I think they said that she had other irons in the fire. That is truly a loss, because she is a real looker, and was good at putting Tony in his place.

Before NCIS came on, I didn't really like Harmon because of some things in his personal life, but doubt that anyone else could play the role as good as he does. Ducky, and Abbey, are real jewels.

Is there any truth to this? ...John Kerry Outed Undercover CIA Agent

Sen. John Kerry, who called for Karl Rove to be fired over allegations that he revealed the identity of CIA employee Valerie Plame, outed a genuine undercover CIA agent just this past April - even after the agency asked that his identity be kept secret.

Kerry blew the cover of CIA secret operative Fulton Armstrong during confirmation hearings for U.N. ambassador nominee John Bolton. Questioning Bolton, Kerry asked: "Did Otto Reich share his belief that Fulton Armstrong should be removed for his position?" - according to a transcript excerpted by the New York Times.

"The answer is yes," the top Democrat continued.

In his response to Kerry, Mr. Bolton did his best to maintain the agent's confidentiality, reverting to Armstrong's pseudonym.

"As I said," he told Kerry, "I had lost confidence in Mr. Smith, and I conveyed that."

Two years earlier, Armstrong had been identified in news reports on his dispute with other officials over intelligence involving Cuba. But he was operating in a different capacity and his identity wasn't secret at the time.

"When the Bolton nomination resurrected the old accounts, however, the C.I.A. asked news organizations to withhold his name," the Times said.

Apparently the CIA directive wasn't good enough for Sen. Kerry - who outed Armstrong anyway and later defended the move by saying his Republican colleague, Senator Richard Lugar, had also mentioned the name.

And besides, said Kerry, the secret agent's name "had already been in the press."
