Gulp.

If I were Canada, I'd check the borders for a Mr. Rove or a Mr. Libby. Reuters reports:

The federal prosecutor investigating who leaked the identity of a CIA operative is expected to signal within days whether he intends to bring indictments in the case, legal sources close to the investigation said on Wednesday.

As a first step, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was expected to notify officials by letter if they have become targets, said the lawyers, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Fitzgerald could announce plea agreements, bring indictments, or conclude that no crime was committed. By the end of this month he is expected to wrap up his nearly two-year-old investigation into who leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.

Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, declined to say whether his client had been contacted by Fitzgerald. In the past, Luskin has said that Rove was assured that he was not a target.

Libby's lawyer was not immediately available to comment.

"It's an ongoing investigation and we're fully cooperating," said Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride.

It's almost sad to see these guys clam up. That sense of bravado was part of their charm. They're not nearly as appealing when they're sweating bullets.

I think the Republicans are just trying to get into Guinness by trying to set the world record for simultaneous indictments by a ruling party. It's just a projection of American exceptionalism.
