Special prosecutor is focusing on whether presidential adviser Karl Rove

committed perjury in CIA leak probe, sources tell CNN.

No link yet...Just up on CNN.com

On edit: thanks. LOL! That sure was some cliffhanger for a moment.

Don't we already know this? CNN is getting desperate.

What if all the reports have been wrong?

No Libby or Karl.
Just some second rank assistants?

Could be. No one seems to know.

So have the other media outlets. To this point, not a single thing they've said has been shown to be true. I don't see their luck changing today.

just grasping at straws...This is driving me insane. Just end it already!

If you think you're nervous, just think of the barbed bricks they're shitting at the White House! Ouchy! :)

I want him indicted for leaking.

Anything less has limited usefulness as it will be watered-down by the Repukes as a "technicality".

While the leak is damaging national security....a Perjury charge has a life of its own with no end in sight.

The leak charge is a little murky based on the chain of events and perhaps not winnable.

Besides I would rather see Rove being sued by the Wilsons for intentional infliction of emotional distress. I goes to motications and then its off to the races and drags out for two years plus as the administration gets repeatedly called to testify and they try to assert national security and Executive privilege.

I want the world to see the level of stonewalling and conspiracy to stonewall to hide the facts about the war.

I am not sure the leak charge would get us where we want this to go.

I wonder if Bush try and keep Rove on staff because all he said was that he weould fire any one who had leaked a name. He later amended to say anyone who has broken the law. The only people he would have support from is his base.

I appreciate your thoughtful post and can see your point.

I want the leak charge because that's what will call attention to the admin's reckless policies.

With the leak charge, the country could begin recovery from these policies as the charges will call attention to just how bad these folks really are.

With the perjury charge, I expect it will get watered-down and twisted in the media. They've already started with the "if it's a technical charge, that's because the prosecutor was politically motivated and was just trying to trip the witnesses up" crap.

I'm with you in the sense that I'm happy to get all the political mileage we can out of this, though.
