Sorry to burst your bubble but there aren't going to be any White House officials, senior or otherwise, indicted for the LEGAL outing of Valerie Plame.
Oh, I was lead down the same path you were: I read all the diaries and comments by emptywheel, SusanG, pontificator, pollyusa,Swopa, et al.
I thought it all made sense. Bolton/Hadley, in cahoots with Rove and Scooter (and Bush/Cheney) laundered the leak through Judy and one of them called a bunch of journalists (since over a dozen have been caught up in Fitz's net) and it was pushed back to Rove/Libby who confirmed. I made the same mistakes you did. But today I think I've got it figured out; you see I've been checking in places you probably didn't think to look. Find out where below the fold.
As I was, you were probably counting the delicious indictments poised to be handed out by Fitz. Rove, Libby, Bolton, Hadley, Rice[!],to name a few, with a dash of unindicted co-conspirators given to Dick and George. IDIOTS!
I figured who in this world knows the mind of devious republicans better than the devious republicans over in Freeperville.[no link, don't give them the hits] Could they be seeing something we're not? Something that is so far-fetched it's logical? Something so unconnected it's obvious? The answer is yes. And guess who they believe it goes back to? Were you thinking Hillary? You weren't? Well, they are. And the "logic" involved will blow your mind.
Which means - it was NOT LIBBY who gave her the information -
IT WAS PROBABLY HILLARY. I believe that because Valerie Pflame Wilson and her husband were very close friends of Hillary (giving Hillary the opportunity to know that type of information - and because I believe Pflame was a stool pigeon for the Clintons - especially after Bush took office). The Wilsons were known for their fund raisers for the Clintons.
I also believe it was Hillary who prompted Valerie to suggest her husband for the trip to Niger.
Why do I think Hillary would suggest that ..?? Because of the Wilson's relationship to the Clintons, and the fact that Bubba was all over Europe trying to get other countries to VOTE AGAINST THE UNITED STATES .. and Wilson was the perfect stooge to pretend that when he went to Niger and FOUND NOTHING - thereby MAKING BUSH OUT TO BE A LIAR - ALONG WITH BLAIR.
Do you not feel like a complete simpleton after reading such a masterful and logical conclusion? What about the very real possibilty that Patrick Fitzgerald might be covering for Hillary!
So why would Fitzgerald go along with NOT questioning Miller about her other (real) sources, even if or especially if, it WAS Hillary? Is he stupid enough to try to cover for Hillary? Is he stupid enough to think it wouldn't come out eventually, thanks to inquiring minds like the Pajamadeen Freepers?
Thanks, indeed! Yes, it will "all come out", like sunflower seeds through a pigeon
By their logic, there is also someone else who is as guilty as the day is long. Did the name Joe Wilson pop into your mind? No? It should have because they have it all figured it. In fact, it's quite "simple."
It's so simple: Joe Wilson publishes his NYT op-ed, everybody in Washington says "Who the hell is this guy?" Anybody who has ever talked 5 minutes with Wilson knows he'll blab about his wife to anybody who will listen. The rumor spread throughout Washington and these reporters wanted Libby and Rove to "confirm" it even though the reporters themselves knew that Plame drove to Langley every day.
How humbling it was to get a glimpse into the great minds of the big thinkers at FR. What a privilege to be granted the chance to finally understand such a complex storyline.
Heh...who am I kidding. Just thought you'd like to see how the fog of blind loyalty to King George has altered their critical thinking skills. Wait...they're Bush voters: none there to begin with.
Actually, they did get one thing right:
There'll be partying galore in the mansions of Chappaqua, Bedford,Greenwich and New Canaan if anyone close to Bush or Cheney is indicted here,
Indeed.

BTW, her post partum depression was not caused by pregnancy. It was caused by the realization that people will know she had sex with that dweeb.

Update [2005-10-8 23:29:41 by Glic]: These are beautiful, just priceless:
What is more interesting, I think, is the timing of Judith Miller's newly discovered conversation with Libby and the publication of the Op-Ed article by Wilson. Some of us have suspected from the beginning that Wilson and Pinch Sulzberger may have been behind the whole thing, and that perhaps they orchestrated these phone conversations in order to entrap the administration.
Neither Rove nor Libby raised the matter; Judith Miller and other reporters initiated these calls, and introduced Valerie Plame's name into the conversations.
Or Wilson, but the problem is there doesn't seem to be
a crime here, unless the prosecutor is going to argue
that obstruction or lying to the FBI was committed
during his investigation.
It would be tempting to suggest that the libs were
trying to entrap Rove and/or Scooter by getting them
to "out" Plame, but the conspirators would have to
have (incompetently) thought that the outing law
applied to her.
And you can literally
feel the rays of comprehension starting to peek through:
Miller had somehow discovered notes of a conversation with I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby that took place about two weeks before the discussions that were the focus of her testimony to the grand jury last week. I find it so strange that these notes just happened to be found now? (They were 'somehow discovered'(created)). There is something going on here that I cannot put my finger on it yet?
Think, Gomer, THINK.
