Tidbits from drinking with journalists
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Fri, 03/02/2007 - 16:19Last night, before hopping on the train back to Connecticut, I stopped by at a local bar to have drinks with some of the journalists covering the Libby Trial.

The most important point that was brought up, especially when some of the others learned I was a blogger, was that everything there was somewhere between off the record and deeply, deeply, deeply off the record. The more drinks we had, the further off the record we went.

Meanwhile, back in Connecticut
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Fri, 03/02/2007 - 13:44After spending most of the week live blogging the Libby Trial deliberations in Washington DC, I arrived home in Connecticut early this morning. I want to write up some my experiences in DC, but first, I wanted to check to see what is going on with the Ken Krayeske trial. A quick scan of online sources causes me to pause, and instead reflect on the state of the judiciary in Connecticut.
I don’t want to come off as any sort of ‘expert’ on the role of new media in coverage of judicial proceedings. It probably takes a lot more than four days as a blogger at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, but that is probably four more days and a lot more thinking on the subject than most people in Connecticut.
