Fall of a Vulcan

Good article in Time about

How a very smart and very loyal aide to Dick Cheney got indicted for allegedly lying about his role in defending the war

And Fitzgerald's indictment sets the stage for either a trial next spring or a plea bargain that almost certainly would mean jail time for Libby.

But the deal was scotched because the prosecutor insisted that Libby do some "serious" jail time.

Fixer's right - don't fuck with The Company! Or with an honest man with a Grand Jury.
