Via Colin McEnroe by Politico:
Ratcheting up her offensive against the news media, Gov. Sarah Palin’s attorney threatened Saturday to sue mainstream news organizations if they publish “defamatory” stories relating to whether Palin is under federal investigation.
Not great legal strategy in my opinion. The folks receiving these letters can now report on the letter, and, by way of providing context, on the rumours. Palin just gave them a sure fire defense to any libel action, which she probably would have lost anyway.
