It seems they hit a guy that would be too low on the totem pole for the Conservative spin machine to bother with saving. what's a brother to do? Flip.
The super serious scuttlebutt is that Vice President Cheney’s deputy chief of staff, John Hannah was sent a letter tagging him for indictment and decided to FLIP on the VP's office and give up the goods. I've heard several names batted around for indictment-ville including: Mary Matlin (sorry James), Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, and even DICK Cheney. this kettle is about to blow!
Hotline put together this fine little list of people that have been asked to speak in this investigation. Take a look at these names:

wow, this is about to blow up. thanks for posting the list, i was wondering who all was connected in this. what's your thoughts?
I say Libby, Rove, Hannah, MAYBE Mary Matlin, and MAYBE Cheney. it has been reported that there will be no 'final report' in this investigation. that implies 2 things: somebody's going to jail. you do final reports to say "i didn't find anything to act on, but this is what i DID find" AND it may leave this investigation open to travel further up the food chain, so to speak.
