Heh. From what I've been able to piece together, it's looking more like Libby's going to become a scapegoat for Cheney. I wonder if that will make prison food taste better...

I understand the breaking-news aspect of each element of the argument, but spreading it out over a dozen posts makes any reader discussion a bit difficult.
Maybe have a "comment thread" every so often? Am I the only one struck by this?
