Is there an Indictment Alert website for the CIA Leak investigation?

One that after you sign up, emails you, if and when the indictments come down?

It would beat the hell out of having the TV on all day, regurgitating the same-old- same-old news from mid morning on.

Well, the ABCNews Breaking News alerts are very quick, in my experience. I usually get the alert before CNN updates their web page. So that's one option. You can sign up on their web page. It's on the bottom left side.

Thanks, SmackFu, I will.

Signed up at LA Times already but ABC sounds like a good bet.

CNN.com has one too: http://www.cnn.com/youralerts/

I used to work for a good-sized Internet news source. We were all on the CNN.com alerts list, and often got e-mails from them about breaking news before the AP had even a one-line "news alert."

You can tell google to email you about any news with a keyword. Anytime any news site google spiders puts up a story with that word, google would email you.
