Attempted extortion isn't a crime? If it wasn't a crime, why was the CBS employee arrested late yesterday?
In other words (I'll translate it for you): if there wasn't a crime, should it be news?
I'll translate it back at you, slick:
What part of CBS Employee Is Charged In Letterman Plot do you think signifies there wasn't a crime committed?
further translation: even if there was a crime, I still don't care.
