Reply #80: In Wilson's book

he addresses how two journalists had told him about this. In the time since, we have seen the White House lie that no one there was involved -- including Rove and Scooter -- be exposed as a lie. Someone has to take the weight for not just the lies, but when the grand jury returns the indictments, there has to be someone cut loose. Someone has to fall on their sword. And in this case, someone has to face felony convictions.

A large part of the operation was straight from the VP's office. But Karl ran with it. And Karl testified a couple times. He has blamed Cheney and Libby for this problem for two years now.

In the coming weeks/months, keep this in mind as more information becomes public. (In fact, even in the context of the off-the-record information that two lawyers gave to a WP reporter in today's news, regarding the charges they think are coming. For that matter, Libby's rather transparent message to Judith about staying rooted, and not being split, indicates that he knows he is in trouble.)
