WASHINGTON (AP) - The prospect of indictments against White House officials in the leak of a CIA officer's identity created anxiety in the West Wing on Wednesday as Bush administration officials worked to conduct business as usual.

The White House is waiting to find out the results of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's two-year criminal investigation that has entangled officials close to President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

Lawyers representing key White House officials expected Fitzgerald to decide as early as Wednesday whether to charge I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Cheney's chief of staff, or Karl Rove, the president's top political adviser and deputy White House chief of staff.

In a White House known for its discipline, the prolonged watching and waiting for the grand jury's action has created a palpable tension.
