The round table on Fox News Sunday was treating the indictments of Scooter Libby and/or Karl Rove as foregone conclusions. Is this warranted? The grand jury ends Friday unless it is extended. The clock is ticking if indictments are to be brought.

If indictments are brought for the offense of lying under oath or lying to federal officers, it would be interesting to watch Democrats trying to distinguish this from the Clinton case. I can picture it now; lying about a private matter under oath is okay but lying about a work matter is not. (Never mind that having sex with one of your employees in the workplace is in no way private).

And I'll repeat what I've written before. Did Valerie Plame commit an act of misconduct by steering an overseas assignment to her husband? Was she disciplined? Did the "leak" in this case expose misconduct? These questions may not have a clear answer, but is anyone even asking them?
