"If Karl Rove were indicted, that would be like George W. Bush losing his right arm at a time when he needs every limb he's got to climb out of the hole he's in and to rebuild his presidency."
former presidential adviser David Gergen


(AP) Indictments of one or more of President Bush's top advisers in the CIA leak investigation could come today, next week or even not at all, CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante reports.

But the White House is acting like it's business as usual.

When asked by reporters Thursday how he's dealing with the investigation, Mr. Bush said, "There's some background noise here, a lot of chatter, a lot of speculation and opining. But the American people expect me to do my job, and I'm going to."

But the background noise has only gotten louder as the grand jury winds up its investigation over who told reporters that the wife of Iraq war critic Joseph Wilson worked for the CIA.

The White House maintains Mr. Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, and Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, were not involved. Sources close to the case say neither man knows if he's about to be indicted.

Isn't that term most often used to describe terrorist communications? What next? Maybe Dubya will refer to Fitz as one of The Evil Ones.

4. No George, "background noise" is when your kids are talking when you are

trying to watch the football game. A ticking time bomb is not background noise. I know how much you hate to read but you really need to pay a little more attention to the reality of the situation ot it is going to blow up in your face.
