Grand jury vote as soon as today?

But there is one point on which every major news outlet, and presumably every leaker, has fallen into accord in the past week or two. Last Wednesday's Wall Street Journal put it concisely: "With the grand jury in the CIA leak case expected to vote as soon as today to bring charges against White House officials, the two-year probe appears to be focused on the office of Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the chief architects and defenders of the administration's Iraq war policy." The accent belongs on the last clause. Cheney's office is the Pandora's Box of the Bush administration campaign to invade Iraq. Most of the planning as to both the waging and selling of the war occurred under his direction, along with that of Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz at the Pentagon. It was Cheney who played the point in beating up the CIA for its unhelpful analysis of the non-threat posed by Saddam, and Cheney along with his Defense Department pals who effectively circumvented the CIA by setting up the Office of Special Plans at the Pentagon to funnel the administration the kind of intelligence it wanted, largely courtesy of their longtime double-dealing stooge, Ahmed Chalabi.

2. Did you miss this line?

"Last Wednesday's Wall Street Journal put it concisely: "With the grand jury in the CIA leak case expected to vote as soon as today to bring charges against White House officials, . . . ."

It quotes a story from LAST Wednesday which says a vote come come that day.

That's last week, not this week.

7. The Libby indictment is definitely reported PAST TENSE

Winston Churchill once said that "There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at and missed," and last Friday afternoon a lot of Bush partisans were buoyed by the same sentiment. Writing at Power Line, John Hinderaker mused, "Having now read 15 or 20 news stories about what a devastating blow the Lewis Libby indictment was to the administration...

But the quote provided from the WSJ is from PRIOR to the announcement.

So that's the confusion.

6. Doesn't sound Kosher to me!!

I read the entire thread, and tho' I wish it were true, I recall Fitz saying that it "wasn't about the war" He emphasized that, and this article, although all inclusive in "connecting the dots" seems to put too much emphasis on the war. Has the NEW Grand Jury had enough time to thoroughly digest all of the information from his investigation? Unless........ could it be that he ALREADY HAD sealed indictments, and just needed to check out Roves' attorneys' BULLSHIT?:dilemma:
