#2 In his press conference on the indictment against Libby, Patrick Fitzgerald insisted that lying to federal investigators is a serious crime both because it is itself against the law and because, by sending them on endless wild-goose chases, it constitutes the even more serious crime of obstruction of justice. By those standards, Wilsonâwho has repeatedly made false statements about every aspect of his mission to Niger, including whose idea it was to send him and what he told the CIA upon his return; who was then shown up by the Senate Intelligence Committee as having lied about the forged documents; and whose mendacity has sent the whole country into a wild-goose chase after allegations that, the more they are refuted, the more they keep being repeatedâis himself an excellent candidate for criminal prosecution.

I'll drink to that!

#3 Less talk, more Wilson indictments plz.

Also, on some wacko page, there was talk that Wilson was actually a spy working for the French and that the whole affair was a setup to discredit and expel them.

Supposedly, they'll move to France in 2006 after striking a no-prosecution deal.

It's all very nostradamus-crystalballish, but I thought it was clever.
