Justice Department officials have long complained that leak probes, as one put it, are a "fool's errand." The CIA sends the department about 50 requests for probes a year, of which 20 to 25 result in investigations. Almost all of these are closed without a suspect being named, much less a prosecution being sought. Since the results tend to be inconclusive, FBI and Justice Department officials often deride the exercise as a distraction from more vital antiterrorism and counterintelligence work. Some FBI agents say they resent investigating and intimidating other government employees. Former Attorney General Janet Reno summed...

Such fears can loom large here because gays have no places to gather and buck one another up. "It's hard for gay people to even meet gay people in the state of Wyoming," says de Vries.

...defunct Nara Merchant Bank. Last week, prosecutors said they will summon former presidential secretary Choi Do Sul for questioning in a widening political-finance scandal. (It was the allegations against Choi, who resigned in August, that prompted Roh's surprise plea on Friday for the people's trust.) Prosecutors suspect Choi collected $1 million from a political slush fund allegedly set up by the giant SK conglomerate. Choi, who has denied the charges, is a high school friend of Roh and is so close to the President that he is known as "the Butler...
