<i>Added in second revision: "The sources said, however, they wouldn't rule out charges of conspiracy." As a point of clarification, the original version of this article didn't intend to preclude charges beyond lying to investigators. Again, it is important to note that the decision-making process on the nature of the charges is still ongoing.</i>

4. It is at the end of the story with other info.

5. Third paragraph. (But I wondered, too.)

Fitzgerald has decided to seek indictments, those near inquiry say

"Those familiar with the case state that Fitzgerald may not seek indictments that assert officials leaked Plame's name illegally. Rather, they say that he will focus charges in the arena of lying to investigators. The sources said, however, they wouldn't rule out charges of conspiracy."

6. thanks!

Looks like their sources defense attorneys and not someone close to Fitzgerald. Glad to see conspiracy is still being conidered.

7. That's just another common sense conclusion many DUers have been...

drawing for weeks.

Nothing new there.

8. Bush indicted!

So says my tea leaves.

Now that has as much validity as all the other speculation and gossip.

Raw, MSM and anybody else pouring out this stuff from undisclosed sources are NOT presenting verifiable facts. In issues past, we have all decried unidentified sourcing.
All media are just trying to formulate a scoop. I find the flurry of recent "leaks" implausible. For 22 months there has been no significant leaks, now all of a sudden there are leaks everywhere. Nonsense! We are just being fed "sources" speculation.

We should all maintain proper standards of proof and discard idle speculation, despite our collective anxiety.

I'm waiting to hear from Fitz.
Anything else is just gossip.
