US officials brace for decisions in CIA leak case (decision within days)

[RSchewe]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The federal prosecutor investigating who leaked the identity of a CIA operative is expected to signal within days whether he intends to bring indictments in the case, legal sources close to the investigation said on Wednesday.

As a first step, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was expected to notify officials by letter if they have become targets, said the lawyers, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Fitzgerald could announce plea agreements, bring indictments, or conclude that no crime was committed. By the end of this month he is expected to wrap up his nearly two-year-old investigation into who leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.

1. Closer and closer

I think rover and scooter boy are going to be grinning a different grin.

they will be indicted and do some type of time..the real prizes of bush,cheney and poppy o bush ,their main quarterback, may remain elusive..BUT IF rover and libbby are offered up as sacrifice to protect the bush criminals..it will be lil surprise to me..

it wil still be dirt on family bush and the lowering of his executive fallibility.

beneath every bush is dirt.
not to be confused with the grains of sand on a beach...which are far cleaner and finer..all due bias intended.
