The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg are working on stories that point to Vice President Dick Cheney as the target of special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame's name.This story is listed as still developing, but holy shit what a fiasco if this turns out to be true.
Wow.
I'll say "Argh!" for Adam right now. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Allow me to fantasize about how if this does turn out to be true about how the Dem's could capitalize on this in 2008...but in reality they'd probably just fuck it all up.

And here it is, which really is more smoke without fire yet:
Wall Street Journal Online - The New York Times reporter who went to jail to avoid testifying in the CIA leak case was quizzed by the special prosecutor again yesterday and has agreed to return to the grand jury today.I'm not usually one of those "where there's smoke there's fire"-type people, and that stands in this case. Would I like it if this administration were brought down? Honestly, the liberal lefty in me would love it, but I'm not going to start saying that they're guilty yet. This is still just an investigation and I'm content with waiting for more evidence yet.
Judith Miller's additional testimony comes as the endgame is intensifying in the legal chess match that threatens to damage the Bush administration.
There are signs that prosecutors now are looking into contacts between administration officials and journalists that took place much earlier than previously thought. Earlier conversations are potentially significant, because that suggests the special prosecutor leading the investigation is exploring whether there was an effort within the administration at an early stage to develop and disseminate confidential information to the press that could undercut former Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife, Central Intelligence Agency official Valerie Plame.
Still, this is POTENTIALLY destructive, isn't it?

If anything I think we can say that the Democrats haven't been adept at anything as of late OTHER than saying "well, we're NOT the Republicans."
Is there propaganda on both sides? Sure, but the Dems are NOWHERE near this good to put this much heat on Bush. This is hubris methinks.
