What else?

Far better legal minds than mine will tease out all the implications of this indictment in days to come. But I did notice that it straightforwardly establishes Plame's identity as an undercover operative, and that the instances it cites of Libby's false statements - and the timeline it offers of the White House's machinations - are devastating to the current line of wingnut apologetics. There's blood in the water now...lots of it.

I have nothing else to offer this week, save for a couple of short quotes. From Shakespeare, for those who still believe this administration:

This tyrant, whole sole name blisters our tongues,
Was once thought honest; you have loved him well;
He hath not touched you yet.

And from Cornelius Nepos, for the rest of us:

Hateful is the power, and pitiable is the life, of those who wish to be feared rather than loved.
