Indictment

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has issued a five-count indictment against Scooter Libby, who's resigned his post as the vice president's chief of staff. A PDF of the indictment is here, and a PDF of Fitzgerald's press release is here. Reaction is coming quickly, and any Web pages I link to will be quickly out of date, so I'll trust that you know where to find the news. I did find Dick Cheney's short statement accepting Scooter's resignation interesting, though, so I'll quote a sentence:

In our system of government an accused person is presumed innocent until a contrary finding is made by a jury after an opportunity to answer the charges and a full airing of the facts.

He just can't bring himself to say that G word.
