Libby indicted - five counts

It amazes me how some can't understand what's going on. Basically Fitz believes the underlying crime was committed but thinks that Libby's lying is preventing him from figuring out who to charge. This perjury charge is just the beginning of a long process. He didn't comment on anyone else but said that his investigation would continue. When Scooter realizes the trouble he is in I would not be surprised if he flips and future charges are brought against now unknown people or Rove.

Yes, very good post. Also, he made it very clear that indicting someone for leaking classified information is something that needs to be taken very seriously for fear of turning the espionage act into the American equivalent of UK's Official Secrets act. I actually think Fitzgerald may have made a good move here by avoiding wading into that thorny issue yet at the same time making sure the public interest is represented by nailing the initial leaker's ass to the wall.
