This editorial piece in the WSJ online about the indictments is so riddled with factual errors and meritless arguments, I think the author was channeling Ann Coulter. At the age of 12. Before she had her sex change and was still confused.

Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation took nearly two years, sent a reporter to jail, cost millions of dollars, and preoccupied some of the White House's senior officials. The fruit it has now borne is the five-count indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the Vice President's Chief of Staff--not for leaking the name of Valerie Plame to Robert Novak, which started this entire "scandal," but for contradictions between his testimony and the testimony of two or three reporters about what he told them, when he told them, and what words he used.

Two sentences. two tons of bullshit. As Fitzgerald explained yesterday, this investigation would have ended a year ago if Judy the Tease didn't hold out. And "millions of dollars"? As has been pointed out time and time again, the investigation has cost only $743,000.   Keep your boots on, and let's wade through the second paragraph:

But there is a question to be asked about the end to which the accused allegedly lied. The indictment itself contains no motive. And Mr. Libby is not alleged to have been the source for Robert Novak's July 14, 2003 column, in which Valerie Plame's employment with the CIA was revealed.
