Ok, remember the purpose of indictments are trials......
So even if there is only one indictment (Libby) then we are still going to have to see a trial. Trials are long and arduous. Lots of embarrassing details spilling out. Not a good thing to be scrutinized in front of the world like that. And also, who do you think would get called as witnesses? You then have to see Rove and some other big fish sweat through subpoenas and even more investigation etc.

So either way, this is far from a done deal. Whether more indictments eventually come (I think they will) or not. Fitzmas is the gift that just keeps on giving all year, probably a few years, round. :)

1. That's my next question..
So, why isn't Libby turning?

Why aren't other admin folx turning?

Trials should do it.

that once a person is cut off from all of their friends, nobody calls them, they all avoid them like the plaque then all of a sudden those guys that talk tough start rolling over on their so-called "pals."

Honestly, how tough could a guy named Scooter be anyway?

He's rolling over within a year, I'd bet on it. If not on everybody he'll at least give out something damaging.

4. your glee only enhances mine....
I almost feel bad for enjoying this so much. It's bad for our country to have scandals and so on, but, you know, these guys deserve it for all the damage they've done. Plus, it may be the only thing stopping them from doing more.

Still, the thought of this administration going down in flames makes me happy. I just can't help it. I'm thinking about all those little rats scurrying around the WH right now and having a blast. :)

6. lots of new evidence
it starts pouring out when people start wanting to save their own necks. Talking tough before an indictment is a bit different than being tough when your ass is on the line. People start not wanting to protect some asshole who got them into a mess once reality kicks in.
