PlameGate: Air Force One Subpoena'd

Well, records of its communications, anyway.

For an administration that was going to cooperate fully with the investigation into the outing of CIA operative, Valerie Plame, word is that most of what the investigators are getting is "I invoke my 5th Amendment right to keep silent."

I keep thinking about what a powerful message this sends (if not received) to the families of others, either in the military or CIA or so on, who serve. If their child happens to uncover some US bad faith or their spouse or relation does same, the US government feels its fully within their right to "out" that person in service, to effectively make them pay for the crime of exposing injustice or lies by endangering their lives.
