Lewis Libby has just been indicted for “making false statements to grand jury.”
(Via CNN and Fox News.)
MORE: Glenn’s ahead of the game. So are Tom Maguire (who asks “How Covert Was Valerie Plame?”) and Roger L. Simon.
Like me, Roger is “still trying to puzzle out the arcane and not so arcane motivations behind the endless Valerie Plame melodrama.”
It’s almost a labyrinth.
So, so, CIA-like….
UPDATE: The full Indictment (in PDF) can be read here.
(And the PDF of the press release is here.)
UPDATE (3:10 p.m.): Watching Fitzgerald attempt to explain to disapppointed reporters why only perjury and obstruction were charged in the indictment (and not outing the more delicious charge of identity of a covert agent), I was struck by an old, Watergate-vintage expression:
THE COVERUP IS WORSE THAN THE CRIME!
But Tom Maguire said it first, not me!
