Reid Smear in Bullet Points!

The most recent Armando post summarizes everything.

Might be too long for reporters to understand, though ;)

I thought I'd provide a concise bullet-point version.

I'll just leave out the Miranda part.  Kos and everyone else have covered that nicely.

If you like it, please pass to any news agency as a cheat sheet.

------------------------

• This week, Charles Hurt (Washington Times):
  Senator Reid says an FBI file contains controversial information.
  
• Same Article: "severe sanctions apply to anyone who discloses [this file's] contents."

• One year ago, a newspaper article: A Senate meeting discussed this FBI file.
  
• Same Article: this information "failed to remain secret" and available on the internet.  
  
• Same Article: FBI file contains controversial information.
  
• Same Article: ALSO written by Charles Hurt (Washington Times).

• Multiple news outlets revealed the same information
  
• Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) revealed the same information.

Summary:
(1) Controversial nature of the FBI memo has been common knowledge for a year and is not secret.
-OR-
(2) Orrin Hatch also faces "severe sanctions".
