...Lewis Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, has been indicted on charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements by a federal grand jury investigating the leak of the identity of a covert CIA operative. Special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, who heads the two-year-old investigation, believes that Libby lied about how he learned-then shared with reporters-the identity of Valerie Plame, a covert CIA operative who is married to Joseph Wilson, a former diplomat who has been fiercely critical of the Bush Administration's claims about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq...

...Chalabi is not the Bush Administration's first choice to preside over that coalition. "We have no preferences," a senior Administration official told me. Former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, a tough guy, secular Shi'ite and former CIA client, was the White House's covert favorite in last January's election, but he received only 14% of the vote. Allawi is trying to be a better politician this time, building a coalition slate with prominent Kurds and Sunnis. And he has credibility-and contacts-with the less extreme elements of the Sunni insurgency. But Allawi has limited appeal among religious...

...puzzle assembled by U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who for 21 months has been investigating how a reference to a CIA operative named Valerie Plame turned up in a column by Robert Novak back in 2003--a potential violation of a 1982 law forbidding the disclosure of a covert CIA operative's identity. Fitzgerald is probing who, if anyone, leaked Plame's name and why. It has been clear from the outset that the White House wasn't happy when Plame's husband, diplomat Joseph Wilson, blew the whistle on a weak piece of the Administration's prewar claims about Iraq...
