The investigation continues to march on with the indictment of Scooter Libby. More investigation and probably more indictments are on the way. There were a few surprises. Ari Fleischer, the president’s former press secretary, was mentioned prominently. His role is still unclear. Meet the Press’ Tim Russert was considered a suspect at one time. I don’t recall reading that anyone of the pundents thought that Russert was involved. It is still unclear where Robert Novak fits into all of this. Did he cut a deal? What about Marc Cooper? Judy Miller? Karl Rove appears to still be under the microscope. President Bush read a short statement which really said that Scooter Libby served his nation well and that he was innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Okay, it really said nothing. This will probably get worse for the White House before it gets better.

The wheel of justice could use a little WD-40. This “he said/she said” started over two years ago and we still don’t know how the identity of Valerie Plame became public and whether or not the leak was part of an effort by the Bush Admin to respond to comments made by Ms. Plame’s husband criticizing the White House. In a nice way he said they “twisted” the intelligence re: Iraq and their acquition of materials for nuclear weapons. Just as we did as children, if you can’t hit the “bully” hit as close to home as possible. The drama of dirty politics continue.
