A day after telling reporters that "the truth" would set him free, a conservative political hero whose undercover videos exposed improper practices at ACORN refused Wednesday to discuss allegations that he and three others tampered with phones in Sen. Mary Landrieu's downtown New Orleans offices earlier in the week.

Dai, meanwhile, acknowledged the reporters but only said, "No comment."

Reached by cell phone on Wednesday, Castaing said his clients all appeared "as they were ordered to, and they are all going home." Otherwise, he also declined comment.

Flanagan was paid on an hourly basis by the New Orleans-based Pelican Institute for Public Policy to assist with its blog, said Kevin Kane, the president of the libertarian group.

3. don't get any of them but Fox here in the UK and they did a brief item about it

CNNI did nothing. However, I do know this am Morning Joe discussed it...read it here at DU. I need to steal my old computer from my daughter to use some live program I installed so I can get CNN and MSNBC to check out the coverage myself.

4. I would hope that their phone records would be looked into

It will be interesting who they had communicated with on the day in question.

8. In other words ...

A lawyer descending on his ignorant ass and told him to shut his damn mouth, that all that posturing and grinning wasn't going to do anything but win him all the friends in the world among people who'd just make his case even worse.

9. They Should Treat These Guys Like Enemy Combatants And Send Them To.....

a military tribunal instead of giving them a civil trial. Isn't that what Repugs want?

10. Three of them have the same lawyer?

That doesn't sound like a very good idea. If the feds want one of them as the main target, how does this lawyer advise the other 2?

11. and the one that has his own is Flanagan

who happens to have a father well versed in the system.
