...attorney-client privilege. "The lawyers think they found something in Judge Johnson's decision last week that overrules the 8th Circuit decision which ruled that the privilege doesn't apply to government lawyers working on criminal cases involving public officials," says Tumulty. The upshot: The White House will let Sidney Blumenthal testify and is circling the legal wagons around the man who almost certainly knows all there is to know -- Bruce Lindsey.

"The Secret Service question is the big casino," said a White House official...
...third way," a favorite Blair slogan and a phrase that Clinton highlighted in this year's State of the Union message. "Both governments have to react to challenges like globalization and better education for workers, and we have similar perspectives on what's needed," says White House aide Sidney Blumenthal, who organizes the meetings with his British counterpart, David Miliband, Blair's policy chief...
