It's wishful thinking that Rove struck some deal to reveal embarrassing or incriminating information about Bush or Cheney. I doubt you can roll Cheney and live to tell the tale. A deal may have been struck to roll Libby, but I even doubt that. I don't think Fitzgerald thinks he has enough evidence to convict, so he won't indict Rove.

The nadir of this whole sorry episode is that this Administration intentionally outed a case officer in counterpro operations with hundreds of active contacts - and got away with it. The only difference between the Bush cabal who outed Valerie Plame and the scum Aldrich Ames, Jonathan Pollard and Robert Hanssen is that the latter three were jailed. Think about that the next time someone calls the Dems "weak on national security."
