35. BS ALERT. These comments totally contradict the "no indictments" claim.

From BBC, yesterday --

Former Watergate prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste says the demand for extra testimony from Mr Rove last week suggests that he is in trouble.

"The fact that he spent over four hours in the grand jury indicates a great deal of scepticism," Mr Ben-Veniste said.

"In the first or second or third appearances before the grand jury he was not entirely candid, and in fact made broad statements that are now proved to be inaccurate or untruthful. He's got a real problem."

AND HERE ->

Richard Ben Veniste, a top Washington lawyer who has been involved in handling presidential scandals from Watergate to Whitewater, said the revelations that Libby and New York Times reporter Judith Miller had several meetings in which the CIA operative was discussed "appeared to contradict earlier accounts that there had been no substantive contacts by aides with reporters."

While Ben Veniste cautioned that most of what is known is based on press accounts, "it would appear that the material is there for a false statement or perjury charge. It will come down to the prosecutor's discretion."
