Judith Miller has been released from jail. Her source is now publically known to be I. Lewis Libby (Vice President Cheney’s Chief of Staff).
Now, according to President Bush’s earlier claims, Scooter will now be fired and tried if and when charges are brought against him. Anyone else? Will there be and indictment for Rove somewhere in there? Is Scooter a fall guy? Probably not if Judith Miller testifies that it was him.
I never imagined that we would see so many prominent politicians arrested / indicted within a couple of months. In hindsight it is not that surprising that they are mostly republicans. After all, republicans are the people who brought us Enron.
Update: October 28, 2005
Well, he was indicted today. Not just one count, but five. None of them are treason. We know he was the original source, but apparently we don’t know if he understood her to be covert. What a crock of shit.
Anyway, Bush did not live up to his promise that he would fire anyone associated with the leak. Libby resigned well after Bush knew that he was involved in the leak.
