Please try to listen to Mike Papantonio's interview on MSNBC yesterday. He was on either Ed Schultz' show orr the one right before Ed. Mike made the ONLY valid (as I see it) reason that Wilson is not in jail already.I cant quote, but he said "Please people, you need to give the Fed prosecutors some time to put together a good case BEFORE an arrest is made BECAUSE as soon as an arrest is made, the "Speedy trial" law starts to run, and that give the prosecution only 60 days to file their case. Without the "speedy trial" law, they have 120 days. It's imperative that they get as many FACTS as possible to assure a win in court."

That's the first really GOOD explaination I've heard from anyone for the postponement. Mike is a very experienced attorney and a good one.
