We left our story on Friday when special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald ruled that Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Scooter Libby "zealously pursued information about a critic who said the Bush administration manipulated intelligence to make the case for war" resulting in a five-count indictment.
The view of the president and vice president, as usual, differs from the mainstream: I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is doing a good job, they say. The big question is: will Libby testify against Cheney to avoid a long prison sentence? On one hand, he has being given up fairly easily to the wolves of prosecution (I doubt the resignation was voluntary). On the other hand, Scooter knows all too well the tactics this administration will use to hunt down nay-sayers.
Will this patsy sing like a canary? I can't wait to find out.
