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. That possibility has already been discussed: a source close to the investigation told TIME that Fitzgerald and Libby's attorney Joseph Tate discussed possible plea options before the indictment was issued last week.

In a disastrous year, there were, as the annual reports say, a number of factors. If top executives mess up so badly that they have to be canned, they get paid for that too. (F. Ross Johnson, who botched the leveraged buyout of RJR-Nabisco badly enough to lose the entire company, was handed $53 million on his way out the door.) Top executives of major corporations are the only Americans who do business...
