I think it's going to be someone in the CIA. The indictments are going to be "sealed". If it was Libby or Rove what would be the point. The fact that they suddenly leave their jobs at the WH would make it very, very public.

True, Rove and Libby did seek to discredit Joseph Wilson -- as they should well have done. As the Senate Intelligence Committee concluded in a bipartisan report in July 2004, just about everything Wilson said publicly about his trip to Niger was untrue. He said that he had discredited reports that Iraq sought to buy uranium in Niger. But the CIA people to whom he reported concluded that, if anything, he substantiated such reports. He said that he pointed out that certain other intelligence reports were forged. But the forgeries did not appear until eight months after his trip. He said his wife had nothing to do with his trip to Niger. But it was she who recommended him for the trip. And on and on.

Michael Barone is THE MAN, one of the only TWO reporters I listen to anymore.
