Time for a special prosecutor?

Two recent items, both of which seem to call for a special prosecutor:

1. Paul Mirengoff makes the case that leaks attacking Jay Bybee and John Yoo from the Obama-Holder Justice Department are a "criminal offense under the Privacy Act. 5 U.S.C. section 552a(i)(1)."and suggests that it is time to consider the appointment of a Special Counsel.


2. Chrysler's creditors report being threats and intimidation. Tim Oren says "If I Tried This, I'd Be On My Way To Prison."  But then, is it illegal when done by the President?
