14. The vital question in this story -- overlooked even by...
...The New York Times -- is whether Ohio is one of the 41 states that have shield laws protecting reporters from retaliatory prosecutions against leakers. If Ohio does have such a law, this means the documents are federal -- and since the only major Ohio story I know of that has genuine federal implications is the likelihood Bush won election by fraud, the implications are obvious.
