Is that all there is?
Two years and millions of our tax bucks later, and Fitzgerald gives us an indictment of Scooter Libby? Hell most of us have been predicting that since the beginning. Reaction around the blogosphere is mixed. The inimitable Heretik and Jeralyn, as always, roundup the best insights, including their own.
Color me disappointed and not necessarily because Rove has dodged the bullet for the moment. The jury may still be out on that one. But I expected better presents than this under the Fitzmas tree. I surely didn't get the Fitzquisition I was hoping for. I want someone to hold these rogues accountable for their lies in taking this country to war.
But maybe I'm just being impatient. As Atty Tood reminds us:

That's what we call justice, and it's just beginning. One year from now, the largest "grand jury" of all, the American electorate, will get its chance to indict six years of corrupt one-party rule, and we have few doubts about the decision that they'll hand down.Meanwhile, under the heading, be careful what you wish for, meet Libby's replacement. Kind of feels like out of the frying pan into the fire.
What's really important isn't jailing Karl Rove or "Scooter" Libby, but freeing the others -- the dad about to be "sentenced" to his second or third Guard stint in Iraq, or the single mom facing "life without health insurance." That will be the real day of justice.
