...disasters, as well as either the voters of Iraq (or, alternately, the terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who hopes to thwart them). TIME's own Matthew Cooper, who has been at the center of the criminal investigation into alleged White House leaks of the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame, suggested that Bill Gates may be worthy of Person of the Year award for his work as a philanthropist. And, ever the White House correspondent, he also suggested that President Bush could be considered for a second year in a row- although this time as ?the incredible shrinking president...
...only one administration official has been indicted. This hardly constitutes a string of indictments against numerous officials. Later, the piece claims that despite “admissions of guilt,” President Bush “has yet to ask for one resignation.” Actually, the Plame affair has not resulted in any admissions of guilt, at least to the public, and Bush promptly received I.

By that logic, Libby could have told the truth about everything he did and still avoided criminal exposure. But other lawyers pointed out that it's easy to forget that Fitzgerald hasn't made public everything he knows. The two senior officials who discussed Plame's employment with Libby may have testified that they warned Libby about the secret...
