Sapristi!

'Tis a pity that Jason Leopold's reporting on Rove didn't pan out last week. I don't believe, though, that he was making things up and I credit both him and Truthout for having the courage to run with something they thought correct (though they should've exercised a tad more care with the details). I still think large chunks of the story may well have been accurate and, quite apart from Leopold's reporting, I'm firmly of the view that Rove will be indicted for his role in the Plame affair, eventually. Probably sooner, at this point, than later. We'll see. And I'll expect to hear that familiar refrain from the White House: "This is behind us, finally, thank goodness, and we're going back to work." Which what they'll be really thinking is: "that bastard 'turd blossom', is he going to roll over on Cheney or will he follow omertà, like he's supposed to?" The heat's still on the White House gang even without any new news out there...
