the calm before the storm ... of indictments
The inquiry into the Valerie Plame leak (see this previous post for background) is almost over, which can only mean one thing: it's indictment time, baby.
Who's it gonna be? The Financial Times thinks that Karl Rove is the frontrunner, and apparently he's ready for it: if indicted, Rove plans to square his shoulders, lift his chin, and resign immediately. But everyone from Scooter Libby (the actual name of Dick Cheney's chief of staff) to Dubya himself is eligible for "the big I" (where 'I' stands for 'Indictment).

He attempted a joke, pretending to ignore the question. No one laughed."Read the full, rather boring and uninformative article here.
