By Eli Boorstein

Those coming out to Paulson Stadium wanting to see a
blowout win may be leaving sorely disappointed.
But those interested in seeing thrilling football games
are getting their moneys worth.
The Eagles held off apass-happy Western Carolina squad
31-25 on an overcast Saturday afternoon.
No. 11 Georgia Southern (4-2,2-1 SoCon) fell behind
the Catamounts by as much as 13 points at one point in
the second quarter, but was once again able to count on
the expertise of quarterback Trey Hunter.
In his second start, Hunter, a junior, continued to stack
up his case for staying as the Eagles' top signal caller, even
after Chaz Williams returns from his knee injury, running
for a career-high 163 yards and four touchdowns, one off Brandon Sparks/STAFF

A leak-proof plan
Tlie following editorial appeared in the Seattle Times on Friday,
Oct. 3:
Attorney General John Ashcroft should appoint a special prosecu-
tor to investigate a potentially serious White House leak. Not only is it
the right thing to do but it would douse the political flame-throwers
already using the controversy for fuel in presidential campaigns.
Clearly something is amiss. Central Intelligence Agency Director
George Tenet was concerned enough to ask Ashcroft to probe allega-
tions that the Bush administration revealed the name of a CIA official
to embarrass her husband, an administration critic.
Under federal law, a government official who discloses the name
of an agent has committed a felony.
Officially, the CIA will not confirm Valerie Plame's relationship
with the agency, but her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson
IV, said he believes the leak was meant to retaliate against him. In a
report for the CIA almost two years ago, Wilson refuted a rumor that
Iraq had attempted to buy uranium ore from Niger.
This year, Bush repeated the inaccurate rumor in a speech, and
the president's critics point to the reference as an example of the
president misleading people about the urgency for invading Iraq.
President Bush has ordered his staff to cooperate with the Justice
investigation.
Still, an arm's-length probe is necessary and desirable because of
the highly sensitive nature of the leak and the potentially explosive
political implications.
That the leak occurred allegedly at the expense ofa diplomat critical
of the Bush administration's credibility underscores the importance.
Even if the allegations are unfounded, the nature of a tight-lipped
administration investigating itself would give critics traction.
Already, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., is questioning why the
White House asked for and received an overnight reprieve from
putting out a Justice-requested memo earlier this week. The memo,
issued Tuesday, ordered staff to preserve any documents needed for
the investigation.
