Described by Dick Cheney as “one of the most capable and talented individuals I have ever known”, Scooter Libby was indicted today for lying to the grand jury, federal agents and for obstructing justice. Mr. Libby, the chief of Vice-President Cheney’s staff, immediately resigned. Interestingly, Karl Rove remains unindicted.

In an earlier post we posited that Rove might by on the ropes. Knowledgeable experts think that he is out of the woods, but the investigation of Plamogate remains open. I just wonder where it will lead.

The disclosure of Plame’s identity and status with the CIA was planned, revengeful and not the act of an isolated vigilante. I just wonder if the legal story will ever lead us to the truth about why we are at war in Iraq and how we got there. The indictment of Libby is merely the tip of the iceberg.
