All Hail the Prosecutor . . .

. . . seems to be the motif of the day and a well-earned kudos it is. But I've read very little today about the train of events he has set in motion with this limited indictment. Much of the next year's politics will hinge on Scooter Libby's character, which will be sorely tested from this point forward. The man faces 30 years in prison for lying to the grand jury. The best evidence Fitzgerald could have that other high officials -- here I'm thinking the Vice President and Karl Rove -- were involved in the cover-up would be Libby's own testimony. What better way to compel it than a plea bargain that allows Libby to walk in exchange for the truth, a sadly lacking commodity in this administration.
