Bank with Bank of America? Maybe you want to give them a call about your debit card.
Got a new card yesterday, with a letter saying account information had been compromised, yada, yada, and they were issuing a new debit card with a new number and cancelling the old one. Check it out. Better safe than sorry!

The Continued Interest in the Rove Indictment Story
By Marc Ash,
Tue May 30th, 2006 at 03:58:17 PM EDT :: Fitzgerald Investigation

We are still getting a high volume of email inquiries on our Rove indictment story from May 13, 2006. We greatly appreciate your interest, and are well aware of the right of all Americans to know what is happening here.
So again, for the record: We stand by the story. TO's staff is treating this story as our highest priority and will be following up with additional information as it becomes available.
Clearly the question is: "If Karl Rove has been indicted, why has there been no official announcement?" Right now we have only general indicators as to why an announcement might not be made when an indictment has been returned. And even though these indicators do exist, we need to more clearly understand exactly what is happening in this case before we can report on them.
This a unique situation, and frankly a stressful one. We would like to thank all of those who have offered their support during the course of this ordeal. We fully intend to press on.
