Rove back before grand jury

Making his fourth appearance before the grand jury in the Plame investigation, Rove is said to be cooperating with independent counsel Fitzgerald but this time he's been warned there's no guarantee he won't be indicted after all.

Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, said Thursday he would not comment on any ongoing discussion he has had with Fitzgerald's office but that he has been assured no decisions on charges have been made. Rove would first have to receive what is known as a target letter if he is about to be indicted.

"I can say categorically that Karl has not received a target letter from the special counsel. The special counsel has confirmed that he has not made any charging decisions in respect to Karl," Luskin said.

Here's hoping it's just lost in the mail. It's not like I don't expect him to skate on this the same way he's skated on his smarmy dirty tricks before, but just once it would be great to see him have to answer for it. I suggest we all take a page out of the religious right's book and pray for justice to be served.
